Where are all these trucks coming from then? Perhaps traffic not only disappears, but also appears!
They are, they do, and they will or they'll close up and move. It could have unintended consequences. Part of our problems in the "code red" neighbourhoods is the loss of industrial and manufacturing jobs in the area. There used to be lots, and some folks now working at lower paying job would be too proud to lose the house, or couldn't afford to sell it or fix it. That's how we got so many run down houses, speculators and shitty landlords. You're right that Cannon doesn't help, but that's just one street of many.
It does now to go from Victoria and Burlington to York and the 403 via the Skyway. And that is in really good traffic. I'd be up for an increase to 80km along Burlington St. but it's a question of which is more expensive, time or gas.
Your hyperbole is delicious but I've never seen a truck "blasting" down Cannon. They stop and go far to often to blast down the street and are often the cause of cars "blasting" down the far right hand lane because they think it's a passing lane and they're fed up with going 30k. Maybe it's different late an night or when I'm not on the road?
This is all pretty moot as I see the city does actually have a plan http://www.hamilton.ca/CityDepartments/P...! I'm not exactly sure what it is, but some sort of plan involving "gateways" and "villages"...
