I now use Jubilee if I am headed towards the courtland expressway on-ramp, when I used to use Joseph to queen to courtland. I think the intent is to make everyone use charles to go west-east out of downtown if you're coming from victoria.
Clearly I haven’t been following the cycling grid renovations in enough detail! I somehow hadn’t clued in that Joseph would now be one-way. To be clear, it is one-way north/westbound (i.e., traffic flows from David to Victoria but not the reverse)? Anyway, sounds like I should have said Charles and Joseph to cover both directions.
Joseph will be Northbound towards Victoria (and two way from Ontario to Queen).
FWIW my plan to close Jubilee involves closing it at David, in fact, making the road Turn right on David towards Charles, and the connect to Charles. Further, at the North end, I plan a new road connecting the north end of Charles (through the UW parking lot) to Park St. which would at that point, redirect to Charles and make the southern stub end of Park St. into a dead end residential St.
The other benefit is that traffic westbound on Victoria that wants to turn onto park can be redirected up Charles, so that would remove any doubt that Victoria could be narrowed to 3 lanes to make room for wider sidewalks and bike lanes.
Yes, this is what I dream about when I dream about a better place to live.
