Question: Was there ever a plan to narrow the sidewalks slightly and put 2 way traffic on both avenue's. Therefore the MAX tracks would be placed on the right for boarding and deboarding. The other lane would be heading in the other direction allowing the buses to do the same thing. Traffic would move quicker and more safely plus I think it would help the retail located on the ave's.

You mean MAX on one street, buses on the other?
