A detailed business case, which will be debated by city councillors on Tuesday, stopped short of recommending whether the street should remain two-way or become one-way.
The advantage of a one-way system was that it offered more space, and had support from vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists, the business case notes.
However, it did not have any support from the retail and commercial members of a central city advisory group.

Filmmaker Colin Evans was filming skateboarders at the local skateboard park at Fairfield in Dunedin when he captured the moment that catapulted Levi Hawken to stardom.
“Levi is a funny guy,” Evans says. “He kind of just spat it out, and I was like, ‘no way, bro’. I had no idea it was going to go viral.”
If you haven’t guessed by now, that was the moment Hawken was filmed saying: “Left my scooter outside the dairy, nek minnit...”
Various clips of Hawken’s catchphrase were uploaded to the Internet, and they have been viewed millions of times since the first one was published on YouTube, without Hawken’s or Evans’ permission, in September 2011.

The Dunedin City Council (DCC) is proposing a new landfill at Smooth Hill, 28 kilometres southwest of the city near Brighton, to replace the current dump at Green Island, which is nearing the end of its life.
The move has raised the ire of some Brighton residents, who fear it may have negative effects on the surrounding area, particularly waterways.
Those opposed now have another chance to have their say, with the Otago Regional Council confirming it has decided to publicly notify the city council's consent application for the new landfill.

Each Thursday for the last two decades she has caught a bus to shop at Countdown in central Dunedin.
But that loyalty was tested after an incident which unfolded on the morning of August 26. Read the full story here.
