I hope you are right about there being a proposal for narrower residential
streets. Some cities have used so called "traffic calming" techniques to
keep speeds down. One such method is to narrow the street at intersections
while keeping the width in the middle of the block for parking.
I fear my street would be a candidate for widening (and tree removal) since
it is a couple of feet narrower that usual. I have heard comments by people
that they can't drive on it as fast as they would like.
