I agree with your thoughts. Deliveries should be allowed on both stretches of King...we'll just have to get these delivery guys and UPS guys to stop driving like bloody animals and slow down through here.
I really don't think traffic will be all that clogged up on King at Wellington. People WILL go alternate ways. Back at Sherman it is a few hundred meters to Cannon. Wilson is planned to go two-way and I'm going to suggest they make it two-way to Victoria instead of Wellington for any sleep-drivers who forgot that King isn't a highway/through street anymore. They can go up Victoria to Wilson OR Cannon.
Also, at Wentworth, one can head south and pick up Charlton which goes right across to Dundurn. We have ample road capacity in lower Hamilton, which generally drives me nuts. But now it's allowing us to do something fabulous like this in our downtown without causing major headaches...it will simply require that people learn their new (just as quick) routes. This is exciting...it has the potential to change how we function as a city. Gore Park can become the centre of the city once again for dining/culture/shopping/cafes/nightlife/entertainment/festivals etc.....
