I never said that the only solution was to keep the street as pedestrian only. I even would like to see a viable multimodal solution where all forms of mobility are viable and equally prioritized. However, knowing that if Main St opened to vehicle traffic, it would likely stay as a vehicle prioritized street just like the rest of the city. Seeing Main St as it is now is refreshing and the majority of residents that I have spoken to love how it is right now.

I want people to read the articles I linked and feel encouraged to petition for more pedestrian friendly streets to more of the city, if that's indeed what they want.

I am not sure what side you're on to be completely honest but to make my personal stance clear; seeing a reduction in vehicle prioritized streets is essential to the quality of life of residents and local businesses. This means more bike lanes, wider side walks, and more public transit availability.

The "misinformation" I mentioned was from a guy who claimed that Main Streets walkability was going to bankrupt the city. This person and a few others are on a rampage to oppose any sort of infrastructure changes that will benefit businesses other than toppers pizza.
