Of course, we could get rid of cars entirely and put a tram on those 2 lanes instead, but as you said, I can't see businesses or Glebe residents signing off on that, and they're the two biggest stakeholder groups in the area.
I've always been a huge fan of Grande Allée's set-up. I wish we had some of that in Ottawa and Gatineau.
