^ I don't see how you can state that with authority, given how many lanes' worth of road will be removed by the viaduct and streetcar proposals. Even Pacific Blvd will be losing lanes to the streetcar. How can you feel confident that there will not be congestion during most of the day after reducing east-west road capacity by so much? And how should we all feel about funneling nearly all traffic from those former routes onto Hastings? Is that really the future we want for Hastings? IMO it is reckless to contemplate such road changes before constructing a rapid transit line down Hastings.
