re: Should downtown Covington swap their grid to one-way streets?

The “final exam” for the driver’s ed course used to be parallel parking on Boston Street. It was sort of like everyone knew the DMV was going to make sure you could navigate the 4 way stop at the intersection of 190 and Hwy 22 before passing your driver’s license road test.
I don’t remember anyone complaining about Boston St being too narrow but I guess we got used to driving in close proximity to other cars when there was only one Causeway span and you had cars driving in opposite directions with no dividers.
I don’t think one-way traffic would work because, as the bridge comment shows, there are limited points to enter and exit downtown and you’d just create bottlenecks.
