Hey, I live on the mountain, between James & Wellington. In today's city, stretching from Grimsby to Guelph, that IS downtown. And my logic is that communities should be designed for the people who live in them. But then I wasn't aware that just-in-time economics depended upon Hamilton's one-way streets.

I know it's a major sacrifice, bikers and pedestrians run over, air pollution, dust, noise and the loss of local shops but suck it up, guys. Are we Hammerheads or lily-livered Big TOe urban dilletants? We're talking about just-in-time economics for the whole entire world here! Shouldn't we build a memorial, a cenotaph, something, to the local "soldiers" sacrificed saving the just-in-time economy for the free world? How about re-naming the Red Hill Expressway the Just-In-Time Memorial Raceway and sprinkling the ashes of...oh maybe that's been done already.

BUT, Montreal's St. Laurent, the fabled "Main", is one-way north, and it's one pedestrian-heavy street, man. No better spot for a knees-up in Canada. Everyone seems to get to The Main just in time for a smoked meat and/or a beer. Guess that explains it.
