I use it all the time. It's the only moderately fast east-west route to get into downtown. All the other routes (Termainal, Hastings, Broadway) is slow as hell.
So... the way to de-emphasize cars is to demolish all the roads... and create massive traffic jam? Slower moving cars involving in more stop and go consumes significantly more gas and pollutes more.....
What they should do is to build a free-way from Highway 1 right into the downtown core, that's truely green. Killing the viaducts only makes traffic slower, but definately won't reduce net traffic. Dumbo politician just wanna act for the name of 'green', not actually think about how it'll really work out. Democracy is just as pathetic as any other forms of bureacracy really... |
