re: Government Street is a cluster! Who’s idea was it?

Government was a clusterfrick about 10 years ago when I lived in the area to the point where my neighborhood turned a major street one-way to keep from being inundated with all the Government overflow.
The answer to fixing Government would have been to figure out why there were bottlenecks and decide how to fix them, not to add a ton of new fricking ones and say "Better use North Blvd." Bitch, North Blvd should have cut through what is now BRCC if that was going to be the plan.

government street was just fine in the past. two lanes in each direction, you could weave in and out around turning vehicles and get from west to east and vice versa easily. Now, the neighborhoods south of gov't have increased traffic as cut throughs, North ends at foster and moving north or south on foster between Gov't and florida is a clusterfrick.

Fair. However, I think they're referring to people who default to Government when they want to go downtown or something like that. Of course if you're going somewhere on Government, you would take it.
If you're coming from my side of town and not taking the interstate for whatever reason, you come out way ahead taking either Acadian, or Perkins over the overpass, and passing up Govt to take North Blvd all the way to downtown. A LOT of people don't pass up Govt in that situation. They take a left and then complain about the traffic.
^ I think a lot of these folks are people who somehow still don't know how to get around their own city, and Government is the only street they know to take them to downtown. Growing up in Central, a lot of my peers only know that one street.

Florida St goes all the way to Hammond but you be you.

I took N Blvd every day to work for several years, rarely any traffic.
