I am also frustrated by the removal of the traffic calming on Water St....you know, because those neighbours were worried about traffic...they umm...don't have enough of it I guess???
I don't think Duke is really out yet. It was always provisional, based on what the region wants, as any road with LRT tracks are regional roads. The message from city staff is still that they think the region will get on board.
The traffic calming on Water St reminds me so much that neighbourhoods really have no idea what they want, or what impacts what. It's like every fight over building height, where the neighbourhood declares victory for getting 2 storeys removed from a 25 storey building, not noticing that they've lost the proposed park. Fundamentally, people just don't want change, and traffic calming would be change.
