Wow.. fantastic video. And I love that there is still room given for cars and parking in the city centre. But they aren't allowed to dominate like here. Hamilton being as small, compact and dense as we are could easily see this sort of set-up work here. No reason we can't have park and rides with bike parking at Limeridge Mall, University Plaza, Centre Mall and Eastgate.
To make it convenient and attractive, we need to dead-end King Street somewhere downtown to allow for LRT, bikes and people instead of short-cutting traffic. Add an 'Indy Cultural Trail' style bikeway along Main from Mac to the Delta where it could shift to King and continue to downtown Stoney Creek.

Now add a bike lift alongside a new set of stairs from Ferguson Ave to Sam Lawrence Park or up the Jolley Cut:

Create bus-only lanes from Limeridge Mall along Upper Wentworth, Fennell, Upper Wellington, the Jolley Cut and John St to Augusta.

BRT along the Claremont Access and Upper James.

Two-way protected bike lanes also up the Claremont Access to Mohawk College: https://www.raisethehammer.org/article/2...

Finish Hunter St properly along with Cannon/York from Burlington to the Red Hill Trail

Cannon St east of Sherman should have bike lanes at sidewalk level all the way to Red Hill: http://streetsforeveryone.org/commercial...

Add other high quality cycling routes along Burlington St, Eastport Drive etc..... http://www.raisethehammer.org/article/21...

Limiting cars short-cutting through downtown and maintaining high quality LRT and bus vehicles with safe cycling routes city-wide will see a radical change of our quality of life, pedestrian-friendly streets downtown allowing business to thrive and new developments to survive without acres of parking everywhere.
