I think this would be a good idea. I'm sure the politicians would like to be able to drive/ be driven up to Centre Block for when they attend (assuming that's how they get to work), but maybe we don't need this traffic on Wellington. I'd permit cyclists and pedestrians on Wellington, but public transit should be underground, with Gatineau's LRT proposal connecting to our LRT stations.
That said, I would like to see a ban on vehicles used in protests. I don't think they're a critical part of protests, but they do pose a safety and logistical risk.
