That's a misanalysis.

The goal was to shove the traffic up. Because what would happen is that NB traffic would get stuck on the bridge, since there was exactly one NB lane, so by the time you made it to the 10 Ave lights, there was hardly any traffic. Just getting to the 24th Ave lights took forever.

$87 million was also to rehabilitate the bridge. I'm going to go on a limb and say that most of that money was for the rehabilitation and additional lane. I mean maybe the original design of the bridge shouldn't have of all things an exit lane.

I find the notion of induced demand comical. By that asinine logic all you'd have to do to make money is open a business and wait for the customers to start buying.
