12th Ave used to be a single lane in each direction. For Expo 86 it was doubled in width to handle the expected extra traffic. It's unclear whether it was to revert back to single lane traffic, I can't find anything about it on the internet. It's a crappy road. Soulless and noisy. It's also where I live. They planted trees along it in an effort to save it? Never has the planting of trees riled so many people. The city planted trees within a couple of feet of trees planted by residents of 12th Ave, my home included. We had just planted a lovely little Garry Oak. The city plunked down their tree 2 feet away from it. I don't understand.
