In a sense I can understand why folks who live on the Mountain might think that they should be part of a discussion on what happens on streets like Main, King, Queen, Bay. Is anyone actually saying that small residential streets need to be one-way, and can’t be converted to two-way traffic without the say-so of the residents of Ward 9?

Hunter Street, as an example, has no non-residential uses west of Bay. What motorist could possibly be using that street that would not be better-served having it two-way? It’s faster in its current form, but nobody is using it to get anywhere besides home since there is nothing but homes on it (at least, they sure shouldn’t be as there is nothing but homes on it). I’m not saying that Sleepy Jackson is justified when he says that people on the other side of the city should decide whether Queen is a race track or a pleasant place to live, but what could his argument possibly be that they should have any input whatsoever as to what form a purely residential street takes?
