I just thought of something. A lot of people are very against cars, stating the environmental impact. I'm all for reducing the amount of cars on the road but we can't fully remove them. It is easy to think of small delivery vehicles, plumbers, electricians, emergency vehicles, people needing to go to 5 different stops across the city within an hour, etc... One thing is certain, individual "cars" will always exist.

The thing that nobody mentions is the gradual transition to electric vehicles. The autonomy and price might not make it perfect for everyone right now, but who knows how much the technology will evolve in the next 50-100years. If the individual car was carbon neutral, I don't think we could use the environmental impact as a reason to remove cars on the road.

In my opinion we shouldn't remove one of the important east/west cross city roads. Wellington is essentially the historic road that brought you all the way to Montreal. If we absolutely needed to convert one street, I'd convert Queen for surface tram to leave Wellington, Albert, Slater and Laurier intact.

I may ask, where is the destination for most of the downtown workers, is it mostly along Wellington or closer to Queen?
