General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours
I don't think Toronto and Waterloo have a lot in common, and I don't think Toronto's traffic is because it lacks a few needlessly wide one-way streets cutting through its downtown so much that it is a huge city. Most very big cities have intense traffic- Manhattan does, too, and it also has plenty of one-way streets.

The volume of traffic on Erb and Bridgeport could be carried by a pair of normal two-way streets. Those streets would still carry traffic, and there would be no "traffic chaos," but the traffic would be at much more human speeds and the streets could do all of the other things that streets should besides just "letting traffic move."
