The no parking idea is a no brainer. That part is the easiest to deal with. The CH forum talked about the indented bus stops - I like that idea, but it may require some expropriation of land to do (at least between Bayers and Connaught and certainly between Connaught and Windsor).

A widdening to add a reversing lane might work...I'm not enough of a transit planner to be able to model how that could affect traffic.

What I don't agree with is adding another bridge over the railcut. If you did that to seperate the local traffic with the highway traffic, you'd have to take out the houses that are there in the centre on Mailing Street and the street behind it.

You'll never be able to get the Bedford Highway to 4 lanes all the way to Mill Cove without expropriating most if not all the businesses along it, period. That alone would kick up the cost. It would be a small miracle if you could even get a third lane in there which could reverse with traffic.
