I want to vote for the guy, he seems reasonable but it's hard for me to vote for someone who doesn't support a real SW ring road.

I don't disagree with what you're saying as I have wasted many many hours of my life commuting from the deep deep SW to the University. Personally I think the residents of Lakeview knew what they were getting into and need to take some responsibility for their decision.
That being said, I think the short term solutions you mentioned are an important part of a long term plan towards improving the southwest traffic situation (we need to get things flowing NOW, not in 5 years.)
Higgins and Mciver treat the ring road like it will magically fix all our traffic problems. It won't. I am more comfortable with the idea of Nenshi pushing towards a long term traffic solution than I am with Higgins or Mciver.
