Having moved from Durand to the North End, I'm a little confused. My current street is no larger than the quiet side-streets I lived on there, it's got parking on both sides and it isn't one way. There's no lines painted on the street, and more commercial destinations. How is this possible? It doesn't feel unsafe, either, despite plenty of traffic and stop signs which almost nobody ever fully stops for, if anything it's safer.

If I were to go by the city's recent two-way-conversions downtown, I'd expect that such a task would require expropriating all our front lawns for the sake of three dedicated turning lanes, and yet after living here I'm tempted to offer up my own bid to city hall: I'll turn any street they want into a 2-way, with a wrench and a ratchet set, for the low price of a case of beer.
