Given today's measured traffic volumes, Cannon Street has about double the necessary capacity to carry its current traffic

But the curb lanes are dangerous and too close to the sidewalks. They're also in terrible shape. The only time I see them used is as passing lanes when the centre lanes are blocked by slow moving trucks (yuck). I personally avoid using them unless I need to turn left. So in practice it has just the right amount of capacity. It's expected to see more volume in the future as Cannon absorbs traffic from King as calming happens there.

I think a better idea is a protected bike lane on the south side, all day street parking/turning lanes on the north side, and restricting trucks to one of the two remaining lanes.
