I remember reading that assumption and pointing it out at the time. Traffic can very well continue along the recent trend of decreasing but I felt and still feel that it was dangerous to use such an assumption in commissioning a report. They would've been better served in using 3 scenarios, one with increases, one status quo and one with decreasing traffic. My understanding is although traffic into the core has decreased traffic out of the core has been increasing and is expected to continue doing so. Looking at the total traffic numbers it appears the decreases have really leveled off over the last few years after some initial sizeable reductions.
I've been to both of the open houses and the only councillor I've seen has been Meggs, I would think that the other councillors NPA and Green included would take some time and head to one of them to see what citizens are saying on this important civic matter, instead of only relying on only staff's or Megg's feedback.
