Jason; Yes, I've read that before. Studies are all well and good, and I am a strong advocate of 2 way streets. However, traffic lights are generally red for close to 1 min. If the right lane has parked cars and someone is turning left from the traveling lane (assume the city planners are too thick to consider left turn lanes) you will idle for more than 2-3 mins when driving from one end of the city to the other. Just try driving in downtown TO. My point is not the number of added time, it is that this is something that needs to be done and if it costs single occupant vehicles more commuting time, so be it. The end result is worth it.
