Why on earth change something that works? It will just add volume to 4th, 5th and 6th ave to avoid the newly created 17th ave type streets.
4th and 5th street goes north south and is somewhat well syncronized. I use that if i'm in a rush. I fully expect to wait on 8th or 11th street.
Light syncronization will never make the pedestrian, cyclist and car happy. Syncronize based on the most users.
More bike lanes, less parking, now pedestrian synchronization, Is the city trying to shut down all vehicle traffic in the downtown area by 2020 or something?
