re: Is BR traffic really that bad?

There is not enough connectivity with surface streets which forces everyone to get on a few major streets. Add to that the fact that if anything happens on the interstate and the city is shut down and you've got a recipe for disaster.

They have no "release valve" for traffic. One artery gets blocked and the whole city is gridlocked.

BR needs a loop, but we've known that for 50 years.

This would fix this.
