They have decided to test reducing the traffic down to 1 lane each way with a lane in the middle for turning one way or another down south of Jefferson. They have also made parking lines on each side of the street that are of such a size you can park several feet from the curb, and open your car door with fear of it opening into the single lane of traffic (of course should someone deviate even slightly from the traffic lane your in the Turn Lane or the Parking lane).
Divide and then Conquer seems to be the method that they have chosen to do in order to get this thing through. First you divide up the road, show that you can fit a middle lane without reducing parking and still allow a single lane of traffic to flow. Then you Conquer by saying LOOK IT WORKS!!!
