General Road and Highway Discussion

[MidTowner]

both Bridgeport and Erb St. are such a zoning mess (single story bungalows in a four lane one way street, really?)

Many of those bungalows date back to at least the '40s. The roads were likely converted to one way in the 1950s, when that was the craze. It was almost certainly a case of turning a two-way residential street to a four lane one-way, rather than the other way around.

By the way, conversion of a one-way street to a two-way is not something that requires a lot of focus. It is inexpensive and quick to implement; it's not something that would sap a lot of concentration.
