All those traffic barriers in the area are the stupidest thing they could possibly come up with. Grid streets function because they are grids. Now you have to go way out of your way, and it forces you onto the already busy major roads. It's inefficient, which means people burn more gas. It's baffling, too, because they aren't busy streets. But they prevent you from accessing business off of 16th ave that have parking on the side streets, so you have to loop all the way around. Traffic engineers looking to justify their jobs.
