In other words opening Portage and Main to pedestrians needs to be a net zero impact to all other flows of people movement including transit.
A huge precussor to any broaching the subject on
if Portage and Main should be opened to pedestrians is having a
functional and
city-wide rapid transit network built out first including connections through downtown that aren't impacted by changes at Portage and Main.
That is something "Team Open" likes to shut their eyes to and pretend it won't be an issue that needs to be solved first.
