Every street would become a feeder street to Canal, Claiborne and Rampart.

I'm 99% sure that I'm in favor of this happening, though I really haven't had time to think about. one thing I was wondering about would be the call number of the interstate, 510 is to the east of what is officially 910 right now (ccc, wb expwy) which goes against standard. Just thinking out loud. Has anybody heard anything re the progress on this idea?
Very excited to hear about the skatepark, since moving to Mid-City I have been amazed at how many "ghetto children" I see on skateboards, and as a teeny bit of a skater myself would love to see that happen. We don't always have to be 50 years behind the times.
