Downtown needs a transportation study as a whole. Peds, bikes, cars, transit, everything.
Yes I know another study.. But it could look at eliminating one-ways, which lots of people talk about. Routing traffic on certain streets to reduce congestion if possible. Just make it more efficient.

Been saying this on here for a while. So many parts of things being discussed but no one is looking at anything holistically. The proposed changes to Waterfront/Izzy Asper; SWBRT connections to Main/Union and eventually EBRT; looking at two-way-ing Edmonton/Kennedy/Vaughn; all AT connections; Graham improvements; opening P&M; etc.
I also think York should have a two-way bike lane connecting The Forks to U of W, and eliminate going through the middle of Railside to get to Stephenson>Provencher. Actually use William Stephenson as the main route to St. B.
It'd be foolish to make any of these decisions individually – we really do need an all-modes transportation study of downtown neighbourhoods and the connections beyond.
