I always thought they could put a large double roundabout (I know, might get super confusing!) at Concordia, Gateway/Raleigh and Kimberly. With a bit of a plaza area in the centre for the AT pathway. Could be a nice community place kind of thing. Probably need a pedestrian overpass though, so get's pretty expensive pretty quick.
Really guys? This is one of the only places in the North East that has any semibalance of pedestrian orientation, and you want to widen streets? No thanks.

I would rather see a PDO happen for this area asking for closer build-to lines and higher density along it in anticipation of a BRT corridor here (and close Gateway or Raleigh to automobile, more than likely Raleigh)
