For King St that's tricky, from Wellington to John keep the same expect take away one curb side parking for LRT lane. Really I would keep the streetscape design from International Village for King W instead of two way but if not I wouldn't oppose two way for King St W as well, just keep a lane for LRT.
Jillian Stephen (public works lady at the meeting) mentioned that they are looking at keeping King & Main one way w/ the trains travelling the same direction in it's own dedicated lane. So I don't think two-way conversions along Main and/or King will happen WHEN () LRT is built.

However, I still prefer all trains along Main rather than EB trains on Main and WB trains on King. It's just cheaper, no?
