Thanks for re-posting that. I always forget that Joseph St. only runs from Victoria to Queen (with a dead end north of Victoria) one block south/west of Charles so closing it (along with Gaukel) to motor vehicle traffic at the park is probably fine.
And now I’m looking at Ontario St. and wondering if it is really needed — not a lot of driveways on that short street.
Yeah, I am figuring that because it connects to David, and because we want Gaukel gone, Keeping Ontario/David is a compromise...but it is also planned to be a major bike route (in lieu of Gaukel which will be more pedestrianized), certainly I'm in favour of the idea, but it probably depends on how far in the future this whole thing is happening.
