There are other streets in this situation too. Welsford, Shirley I can name more.
I heard someone blat this out at a St Pats site redevelopment meeting last year. I felt sorry for his situation but knew that his neighbours had screwed his street back in the 1970's.

Yes, its true... but I think that was also because of issues related to turning on to Monastery.
The streets off of Robie are similar... but Allan is the worst example coming off of Windsor... largely to avoid Chebucto and that it connects all the way in a straight line to Connaught Ave.
Closing Allan might just push the traffic up to Lawrence... which does not connect directly to Oxford, but hits Harvard (or Chebucto lane would be used to get back onto Allan). The positive might be a quieter neighborhood behind Quinpool Centre and more people using Quinpool to access QC, Windsor and Chebucto (to go North or West) as they should be if they don't have any reason to go directly through the neighbourhood (the entire issue).
