Wait just a second. We have a city that:
- Is cold and snowy for most of the year
- Has little, if any, tourist traffic
- Is mostly industrial in nature
- Already has a problem with welfare bums loitering around
And we want to somehow solve Dundas's problems by turning it into a pedestrian mall with all of the above considered? There's no way this would fly. If you really wanted to make Dundas more appealing, you may perhaps consider some of the following:
- Get those damn buses off the street
- Get rid of perpendicular parking and replace it with parallel
- Widen the sidewalks and gussy up the streetscape
- Introduce zoning bylaws that prevent crap like payday loans from operating on Dundas
- Remove all Public Housing Complexes within 1 mile of Dundas
Traffic must be allowed through at all costs. Londoners are lazy and turning the street into a walking-only mall will not change that- North Americans need a serious attitude shift that will only be brought along by some lifestyle-altering event. Like a Revolution in Saudi Arabia.
