All other widening within this 'ring' (or box?) should be for BRT only.

I don't think making arterial roads into 6 lanes is a good solution because you create an environment where cars drive even faster than they already do and you have an even worse environment for pedestrians and cyclists. If it's a freeway, it has to be a real freeway meaning no cyclists, pedestrians, etc. and it has to have interchanges, be divided, etc. It could be done inside or outside the city if there was political will to do it, but we can't even do easy things in this city let alone build a freeway.
