In an e-mail to Cieslewicz, Dryer estimated the mayor's plan would displace about 15,000 to 22,000 vehicles each work day on the isthmus portion of East Washington Avenue - about one-third of the segment's capacity. [Bob sez: then Dryer notes a couple of the benefits of doing so] Those drivers would be forced to seek alternative routes or change their travel times or mode of transport, Dryer said in an interview. [Bob sez: yet in a puzzling response, Dryer apparently forgets what he just said, at least if the reporter had the sequence right] When asked if he saw any traffic upsides to Cieslewicz's plan, Dryer's answer was brief. "None that I can see," he said. ------ None??? Didn't he just finish saying that it would give people a reason to change their travel times or modes of transport? Even without the aesthetic and safety benefits, that alone sounds like an endorsement of Cieslewicz's suggestion, no? :-) Now go back to lunch!
