Thanks for all additional background and clarifications.
Interesting that staff think the road is too narrow when street calming measures (curb bump outs and speed hump) had to be added to Sydney.
I get the the city has a budget and that is a limitation, and I can understand that they are trying to make sure everyone is heard. So if they have to keep the parking on Sydney to justify removal on Bedford I kind of get. Too much, too soon causes a public backlash which kills momentum for future projects.
But why does it have to be an either/or choice? Why can't it be both?
Again, the right-of-way is 20m wide. Everything fits if that is a choice:
