Most traffic engineers still insist that if you ever remove car lanes, the result will be the worst congestion imaginable. Yet even this 20-year-old study points out that their predictions are usually overly pessimistic, & the result is often actually #TrafficEvaporation
Three people were killed while traveling on our streets this week - on 4th Ave S, Aurora Ave N, and Boren Ave. Absolutely heartbreaking, but not surprising. Why? All these tragedies happened on multilane arterials identified as “high injury network” streets by SDOT. #VisionZero

IBR defrauded 8 cities & agencies to disqualify a tunnel alternative and gain approval of a bridge (LPA).
Also defrauded Federal DOT of $600 million, asking for billions more.
