This seems like a really bad idea. I can barely get down some of the one way streets now, with busses and deliveries stopping, construction, etc. If anything we should be moving back to more one way streets to create room for bus and bike lanes, and more sidewalk traffic.

As someone who drives around downtown daily, I couldn't disagree more. One way streets force you to move through multiple unnecessary intersections in order to get where you're going and increase traffic. The two-way streets downtown are already much more free flowing (think 5th St and Brazos). If all streets are converted to two-way, it would be easier to circumvent a problem area.
