I don't know how King St can be put two-way at the "entry-way" at wellington. It's only two lanes at that section. They'll either need to tear down that gateway or deal with massive transit backups... especially with a bus stop that services the 52 Main West & 1,1A King Buses & 10 B-Line all right there. It gets backed up enough now while it's one-way.

I guess once Main St & Wilson are two-way, people will have a choice which way they choose to drive into the core.

And I'll be zooming by on the LRT along Main so it wont matter if there's a bus backup at King/Wellington? haha
