There is no better example of what a good street diet can do than what happened on College Avenue north of 38th Street. Adding lanes for the Red line cut down the travel lanes, and calmed down traffic. It now is slower but flows steadier with fewer opportunities for aggressive drivers. However, I have seen a few truly aggressive drivers now dive in and out of the bus lanes!
Great column! Thanks for pointing out that designing streets for the speed that you want, instead of just putting up a sign, is a big part of the solution. Now, how do we reform the DPW, DOT, and all those engineers? We need to do it fast.
Interesting that 38th Street is the example Tom chose. I remember when Maple Road had fewer lanes and trees lawns (with maples!) on both sides of the street. In fact, I have clear memories of sitting on the mini-hill in front of the Oxford Gables Apartments, watching the construction of 38th Street as it is now — or should I say, the destruction of Maple Road. The widening of 38th Street also caused a disconnect between the homes south of 38th Street and those on the north. We were all one neighborhood back then, when kids from both sides of Maple Road attended School 66.
