I live on 12th and I walk a lot of places.

I really can't see how a two-way street would make things more walk-friendly than it already is. Any traffic engineer/urban planning specialist want to chime in here?

I'm thinking it would make sense if the one way streets weren't paired, like 11th and 12th are, and don't have ample parking like 11th and 12th do. A two way street usually would mean double the parking (1 parking lane on each side).

So no, a bad idea.
