A final report will be brought to the city planning committee in April. Public consultation will take place after a traffic study is completed. We'll also have to circulate information to the residents and businesses in the immediate area that would be affected. The city would have to look into the costs of converting one-way streets, such as new traffic lights, says city traffic analyst Rick Zarzosa. The proposal could also mean less on-street parking for residents, he says.
Some streets are really narrow.
Residents might not want to have to park a block away from their homes. A study of traffic patterns would be needed to see if the plan is feasible and if it would actually make driving downtown easier, he says. Public consultation would also be needed to see how residents feel about the possibility of losing on-street parking. We'd definitely have to do a study and public consultation.
