Only a portion of commuters want 5 lanes of traffic in the city. I commute out of the city and want fewer lanes on Main and King. Many friends who commute out of the city are also wondering when the city will take steps to limit speed on Main/King/Cannon/etc. A lot of younger families would prefer to live near an urban area. I don't think this was such a prevalent trend 10 years ago... seems like if you could afford it you got a house on the mountain ASAP. This is no longer as desired for younger families. They remember growing up in isolated gated communities with no amenities and don't want that for their children. So the city has to change eventually. Best place to raise a family? Not a chance until we get rid of inner-city highways.
