a huge problem are the people trying to beat a light and get stuck in the intersection.



but that problem is for people traveling on Perkins. If you are going from burbank to 10 it doesn't matter if Lee is 3,4,or 5 lanes...they will still backup at perkins b/c of all the congestion on college.

Acadian would make the most sense to widen but LSU ave will never be widened

Nah. When you cross Perkins heading to 10, you get the problem at the next 2 lights. Obviously it's not the biggest problem, but 1 or 2 jackasses in an intersection might mean 20 cars don't get through.

I cut through along hyacinth and go to Acadian to get to 10 east. Even through there, I avoid hyacinth and the light at hyacinth and acadian

I'm surprised, but College Drive widening is actually listed on this plan. I guess they want to take it from 5 lanes to 7?

Also listed is Lee Drive widening, but I suspect that it will be limited to 3 lanes through Southdowns, then 5 lanes between Lee high and Highland. That would still help.
