It'll be interesting to see the detailed plans for these projects. It sounds like expanding rail infrastructure was the right solution, instead of building, say, the truck-specific route along the rail cut. And people should think of this in terms of noise and traffic reduction, not all-or-nothing "get trucks out of downtown" solutions. It's possible to reduce noise a lot by requiring that trucks be newer, repaving roads so they're less bumpy, etc. That plus redirecting 75% of the traffic could work out to a 90% reduction in noise.

In the long run it seems like the 102 should connect up to 111. Crosstown traffic shouldn't be funneled along Bayers Road and Connaught.
