The city has been trying to reduce the use of Memorial as a major traffic artery, as it passes directly through many residential neighbourhoods with no separation; nowhere is this more of an issue than Sunnyside. I think this is probably what Farrel was referring to with the Plan It comment. People looking for a major east-west artery should be using sixteenth, or, on a weekend, the one-ways through downtown. Memorial will, by necessity, remain a feeder artery to downtown, but beyond that, it's planned to become a community street in the same way that 4th street or Bowness Road are.
edit: actually, Elbow Drive from 26-34th is probably the best blueprint for what Memorial Drive will likely become.
