There's no reason not to try this on for a few months and see how it works.

So if I want to take my 80-something aunt to shop at one of the few remaining retailers on SGR that appeals to her, what do I do? Drive up to the corner of SGR on one of the congested narrow side streets, drop her off, then try to reverse while hoping she can hobble to the store? Some of those streets are 1-way only so I can't easily do even that. Does she now have to hoof it for a block plus the distance along SGR? Fugget about it then, no way.
As for cyclists, let's hope they don't get into a disagreement with one of those Transit buses that will be zipping along.
