Councillor Etherington calling for better sidewalks through Victoria Park (https://franketherington.ca/2016/08/03/p...sidewalks/), why not close Jubilee off in park completely to cars (at least south of Water and north of David)?
That part of Jubilee isn’t a high volume city street, although it would disrupt connectivity in that neighbourhood a bit.

831 movements are from Theresa, Heins, and Water cutting through the park (or about 415 round trips if assume same travel path out and back). There’s no data point for Jubilee/Courtland at David so it isn’t clear how many additional trips start in that vicinity, but the 415 trips could easily be accommodated on Joseph/Charles/West with minimal trip time added.
Thoughts?

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
