Some context for this one as didnt see anymore on it. The added NB through lane at the lights (that now continues to and drops off at 32nd) took the space the merge lane used, with some minor widening. Obviously cant do a yield there so lights were needed. And then maxing capacity with two lanes at least.
Worth noting the wall across from mcmahon just north of 16th is being built to create a proper WB 16th to NB Crow on ramp. Should draw a lot of the traffic off of 24th when trying to go NB Crow.
