Scott Radley on Hamilton's Looming Gridlock

<p>A few weeks ago, Hamilton City Council voted to redesign its major street running into its downtown core.</p><p>The new plan is to essentially divide Main St, a one-way six-lane wide boulevard running through the middle of its downtown into a two-way street, despite concerns from city staff that this would create a problem with traffic, leading to congestion. Their concern is that this move will limit the ability to travel down and through the downtown. Is this a pointless and ultimately futile move on the part of Hamilton City Council? Or is this a brave decision...
