While I'm glad these LRT projects are happening, it's unfortunate the street redesigns are happening at a time when it's not very politically possible to shrink bloated 4 lane arterials down to something more reasonable. First we have to get out of the mindset of "traffic will always increase" and instead, "how can we choke traffic down to a minimal level on urban streets".There's no trees and no room for any..................that's awful!
That will make the area very unappealing aesthetically and for walkers, it means no respite from the hot sun and no wind breaks.
I'm all for bike lanes, but those should have come at the expense of a lane of traffic, not streetscaping.
