sure. Lol.
Your representatives are hicks though.
DC is probably right...it's old people who hate change and don't care about the future since they're almost gone.

DC theory about the age of the average 1 way supporter sheds more light on this statement.

Mr. Duvall said later residents are "confused" by the traffic patterns along James and John streets

From the article: Mr. Duvall said later residents are "confused" by the traffic patterns along James and John streets,

Can you imagine how confused they'll be if we get light rail or if the Pan Am games are partly hosted here? Lets put everything on hold so they aren't so "confused"

They most likely wont be around by then... so the city will finally be able to move forward and not be held back by change-a-phobes? hahaha

edit: they're called "TROPOPHOBES" (Thanks Wiki)

Unfortunately, older people tend to vote in higher numbers which is maybe why they have the ear of their councillors. So make sure all your buddies get to the polls at the next election.

^^ Oh I know it's a huge problem. I'm very political and vote in every election, but that's not the case for most youth... however, that's a completely different subject in itself! :s

But regarldess, Gen X & Y are about to take over... so watch out Hamilton!

[astroblaster]

for the record, im 24.

i try really hard to get all my friends interested and out there voting.

may I suggest that the Ontario government take a serious look at more frequent testing of drivers?
If someone is 'confused' because a street is laid out with 2 lanes southbound, a yellow middle line, and 2 lanes northbound, they really need to have their license taken away permanently.

Byrd shoulda got another half mark for that white suit. Full mark if he had matching shoes.

Don't even get me started on that!

And you're right, Astro... it's tough to get youth to vote. For some reason they think they're 'too busy' for it. When it reality, they're just too lazy!

The gov't needs to make reforms, which we've been shouting for for years now, but again... change is scary! FIXED election dates, PROPER proportional representation (the suggested format Dalton introduced last election was rediculous) and perhaps some form of advertising or whatever to get youth interested.

When I watch American TV, MTV & BET are CRAZY for elections. You can't go an hour without hearing about it (during election years anyway). So lets do this in Canada! Make voting 'fun' and not just a duty!

Anyway, back to Two-Way Conversions... (sorry)

[astroblaster]

we should have fixed voting dates, get the day off, and have a voting party

[SteelTown]

We have fixed voting days for provincial and municipal elections. Same with the federal election expect it's not law, just a day a governing party can choose to have or not.

online voting is gonna be the number one way to improve the young voter turnout. but no one currently part of the system really wants that because then change will actually happen -and for most of them it would mean changing them OUT

i don't trust online voting. i think it could be done, but i don't trust our government to properly fund/research it and actually implement a secure and tamper-proof (as much as possible) system.

[block43]

Why are we talking about online voting in this thread? What does it have to do with one way streets?

[raisethehammer]

I vote for two-way streets!!!
