1st SE carries 6000 fewer vehicles per day than it used to 10-15 years ago. Also, the downtown segment carries 4 lanes at its lowest volume points, whereas just south of the Elbow as traffic accumulates southbound, it has 3. Currently the trip from Bow to Elbow takes about 4.5 minutes during PM peak and early analysis shows with a cycle track and mitigation measures like some advanced turning and signal optimization that trip would increase by about 30 seconds.

I always love a knee-jerk statement followed by someone bringing actual facts to the table.
