Government St Redesign
Great news for Midcity. If anyone had a chance to check out the Better Block demo, then you have an idea of what it will look like.

Good. Government St. has needed a redo for a while now.

From my experience driving through BR, the people there can't handle three lanes.

I live in Midcity and the neighborhood where I live has been advocating for this for a while. I think this is great and will help the area out a lot.

God its about time. Now just put a turning lane down highland and lee.

I'd be disappointed if they don't include parallel parking spaces and change the foolish rules for the businesses in the area that requires extensive parking off the street. If they can pull that off, they'll only need left turn lanes at major intersections and really change the format of the street.
A row of parked cars also encourages pedestrian activity more than a bike lane and calms traffic. It's more of a barrier between people walking on the sidewalk and the traffic in the street. I think they can fit street parking and bike lanes if they didn't need a center turn lane.

Awesome news.
Now, they need to do the same thing with Lee Drive. Of course, the Southdowns BANANAs will fight to the death any improvement like to their neighborhood.

they should make river road 4 lanes

They 100% could use a turning lane

A dedicated left turn suicide lane is a great idea for Government Street, at least in theory. I really wish the State would do five lanes instead of three, though.
And I see we've already moved past Government and on to LA 30.
