What? No traffic count? Then and now? That many are taking alternate routes due to congestion?
Congestion that will increase with time. Soon to be backed up to the Hult while traveling south, in the afternoon?
And solely so that, Maybe 100 bicycles a day can use the street six months out of the year, and far less than 20 per day during the other six, while 16,000+ cars and more than 20,000+ people used the street prior to this politically correct nightmare.
And, I was informed that the reason for the trigger operate signals (everywhere) was to make driving MORE delayed, complicated and frustrating, so as to nudge more people into riding public transportation.
I had wondered for years how the far more expensive, individually driven, microprocessor operated, un-sequenced/random signals, always red, were instituted to replace the more efficient old style sequenced types, set by traffic engineers with stopwatches, had come about. Now I know.
Political Correctness Disease strikes again.
