re: Burbank and Lee intersection improvements

I live down that direction and take that intersection multiple times a day. Didn’t go that way this morning, but I’m sure it’s still a clusterfrick.

The problems are mostly caused by the light cycles. Same reason LSU game traffic backs up down Burbank. The real root cause of the issue is really down Burbank a ways with the lights around Mellow Mushroom. Splitting the traffic into 4 lanes just puts more people on Burbank faster. In theory, it’s a good idea, but its really like widening the back end of a funnel.

If they really wanted to make a difference, they’d 5-lane Nicholson all the way past Ben Hur and figure out something to do with the clusterfrick that is Burbank/E. Boyd and Burbank/Jennifer Jean
