And you would think that might help traffic along 36th to clear out, but it doesn't because the turning lanes at the lights fill up (especially into Sunridge (NB) and 36th SB onto EB 16th) and plug one of the through lanes, so now you have 2 lanes squeezing into one. Throw a bus or two along there (anywhere along 36th where there is no bus turnout) and it really does suck.
The city seems to have learned those lessons on the new lines, but the original problems still exist along the original stretch.
