4th SW actually is a big problem from a congestion standpoint and different points, particularly for transit (buses like the #3) - for a central north-south spine, 5th is much more likely (it for instance has been missing a left lane for construction for 8th Ave place for two years at its busiest point without too much issue, also its underpass has a lot more space to work with).
