Larger streets such as 4th, 10th, 16th, 33rd, 41st, or those which end in cul-de-sacs or traffic calmed turns as seen in the West End clearly would not benefit from any one-way street applications. I also think you need to be consistent with the application so if 3rd is to become one way it must be for the entire length of 3rd ave. Even on less trafficked avenues a one way approach is beneficial to the residents who live there as it would calm their streets even more while increasing parking and improving flow. Missing an address and having to around the block is really not a very good argument. The blocks are so well laid out here that if you just missed your address and have to walk a at most a block really is no big deal, is it? Your absolutely right about the selective one-way approach.
