I do not mean to imply that Lake Street ought to be widened - In fact I am mortified at the very idea.WM: Once again: Lake St. is NOT being widened. We cannot widen Lake St. The Repaving Project has 80' to work with. That's it. Lake St. will not be able to get any wider than it is at this moment.
This rhetoric from Niziolek is a myth he's creating. There are 4 lanes today, the plan is 4 lanes in the future. There are also turn lanes at some intersections. Niziolek, Lilligren, and Zimmerman want to reduce it to three lanes. If that happens, one quarter of Lake St. traffic will use the neighborhoods' narrower side streets to stay off Lake. How does that improve the situation?
I represent my neighborhood on the PAC. Central would not like to have more traffic on our side streets. We're already inundated because overflow traffic is already using 31 St. Considering that Lilligren is allegedly our representative, I'm not a happy constituent with this turn of events.
