One minor problem with putting the interchange on 38th: While
the "grand avenues" such as Lake Street were platted an 80 foot or so
wide right of way and can accommodate 4 12 foot driving lanes plus 2
parking lanes plus sidewalks, 38th looks to be only 60 or 66 feet
wide. By the time you fit in two 6 foot wide sidewalks, 2 12 foot
driving lanes, a 12 foot left turn lane, and a couple 6 foot wide
bike/snowpile lanes you've run out of space.
Then again, the city could use this problem as an excuse for
a bit of old style "urban renewal"- surely a proper 4 lane plus
parking plus turnlanes, bikelanes, and wide sidewalks and greenspace
would justify tearing down everything on a least one side of 38th?
Not!
Dyna Sluyter, whose abode abuts an 80 foot right of way with
but 36 feet of pavement...
and don't anybody dare tell the city engineer where it is!
