LRT on the Green wants to make Centre Street N.C. more bus-oriented.

The group wants to remove lane reversals and high-occupancy (carpool) lanes, in favour of dedicated bus lanes.

The lanes would be in effect from 20th Avenue to 4th Avenue N.E. during the morning and afternoon rush hour .

Councillor says the city needs to look at the idea before committing to any changes.

Binks argues the city's long-term plan was to remove two lanes from Centre Street to accommodate the Green Line .

Binks: "We do need to examine the volume load on there together with the traffic volume, and I’m not ready to commit until I see that".
