Doubtful this would ever happen due to us being in the bad timeline, however, it's an awesome idea

It's a good idea for cities on a large uncomplicated grid. Also, I've seen our bus drivers side swipe cars and never stop. I trust a surface level rail more haha.

Would be a great solution for Ferry Street. Would also allow for bike lanes in the parking aisle, maybe even a protected bikeway.

But I can't imagine it ever happening with the chronic lack / perceived lack of parking along that corridor.

Broad Street absolutely needs a road diet. Tomorrow they could get paint out and make it a 4 lane road with bus lanes and a bikeway.

Better yet, extend the light rail down to Lincoln Park.

If we can get ferry and Lafayette to become way in either direction with a dedicated / protected bike and bus lane..that would be a good start. City could incentivize one of the owners of the empty lots facing Raymond blvd to build multi level parking with mixed use sqft above that to make up for the lost spaces. Some neighborhood in Toronto have similar arrangements and they work well .

Light rail supremacy 💯

Could probably fit a protected two-way bike lane on most of Broad. But need the Parking authority or police to enforce double parking. Lots of cars park illegally on Broad by Harriet Tubman Square so three lanes merge to two.

Wouldn't you also consider broadway a major street? Just saying-

No thank you

Absolutely, love trolleys and light rails! They are quieter and more predictable too!

Ferry is the one I think that needs at the most. Nobody can move through Ferry Street as it is. Except walking.

Partly because people do legit 50 miles an hour down it, and it’s disgusting.

Ferry needs to be fully pedestrianized and cars restricted between like union street and st stephens church
