46th would be a nightmare. That street already carries much more traffic
than 35th or 36th, and planners insist it would fail with several thousand
extra cars shunted down there. You'd have to bust out dozens of homes and
widen the road to even make a go of it.
Keep in mind, the Lake Street ramp "improvements" will almost certainly
happen, and the minute you allow drivers going south on 35W to exit at Lake
(or 26th or 28th), the load on 35th/36th will drop. Although I am skeptical
about much in this project, I believe highway planners' estimates that
one-third to one-half of southbound drivers getting off at 35th/36th double
back to go north to Lake or 31st. My point is, the new Lake-area ramps will
improve things for 35th/36th even if that's all we do.
