They've studied the route and think that a two lane road with a center turn lane wouldn't cause traffic tie ups


They didn't take into account increased car volumes due to Claycut being closed. They factored in taking the CATS busses off the street which has already been taken aback. It's a terrible terrible idea. It just means that everyone will be stuck behing empty CATS busses idling at empty bus stops instead of changing lanes to avoid potholes and left turners.

I thought the road diet included plans for bus pull outs?

Also, SWB and Tom Murphy spoke at this same speaker series. I'd love to know his reaction after meeting EBRs Mayor President firsthand....
