They have made similar “traffic diet” changes along Harford road and we get a lot of the same. Add to that the parking lanes along Harford have actually reduced street parking when you factor in floating bus stops, curb ends and bump outs, and dead space carved out by flexposts. We now get constant business and customer parking in the neighborhood which is annoying, but it also leads to assholes flying down side and cross streets trying to get around the congestion on Harford rd. We’ve been fighting to get traffic calming for years on the side streets, in the neighborhoods, instead the worst drivers now see this as a cut through to speed around the badly timed traffic lights.

I live a half block off of Harford in Hamilton and I love the road diet. I safely can cross Harford road on foot with my kids and my dog. The city has also accelerated the process for installing speed humps on side streets.

So sounds like the road diet on Harford Road isn’t the problem, just that you need some traffic calming in your neighborhood. Hopefully your councilperson hears your concerns and you get some infrastructure installed soon.
