It does eat up 2 lanes of traffic, so it would only be 1 each way. But I suppose the trade off in reducing the vehicles using that road is worth it from a cost perspective. As long as there's wide enough shoulder lanes, buses could still make stops along there. I figure it would be the same design as the LRT will be north of 16th Ave.
