King Street's was even better: they widened Weber Street in part to accommodate the loss of King Street, both temporarily (as now) as well as partially in future (to LRT lanes)
LRT has been a pretty good example of this. They gave Erb St. 2-way flow, and the North side of the Shops a temporary building-adjacent travel lane, in order to provide a workaround.
But in any case, every road project generally has an alternative route that's easy to get to, even if it's a bit off course, because our street grid is incredibly dense. Especially when compared to: usable bike infrastructure. There's hardly any in the city, and certainly not any that runs parallel and close to the Iron Horse Trail to offer a detour route.
