if im not mistaken, san jose was (is?) in the process of converting some of its one-way streets to two-way. i think this was being done as a traffic-calming measure as some of the streets went through residential areas.
the results? i have no idea.
however, i personally believe that a city's downtown core should be mostly one-way to accomodate the higher traffic. as phillip said, if traffic is moving at 55 and the speed limit is 35, then traffic calming is
a must! one way or not, i say, take out a lane for a streetcar.
