St. Clair was a ROW early in the last century, the only reason why it doesn't work as well now is the accommodations made for the left turn lanes and the centre poles. Period. If neither were in the plan the avenue would work better and would be far more aesthetically pleasing.
How do you expect traffic to move with only one real traffic lane and no left turn lane? It's obvious you've never driven a car. The left turn lanes were an absolute necessity. They couldn't elminate street parking, and so there you have it. St. Clair needed to be 4 lanes in each direction pre-ROW for it to work.
