I think making 13th a 2-way street will help pull quit a bit of traffic off main as the p&l and h&r garages could then exit to the east instead. Very little traffic actually uses walnut outside of accessing garages and it's going to get cutoff for the 670 park anyways.

I showed the bus stop with the red box and kept it's dedicated lane right there. The northbound stop is just outside the picture.
I'm sorry I didn't see that. I didn't have my eyeglasses on when I replied, so some things didn't stand out.

Not sure why, I'm assuming possible weekend crowds and super bowl crowds / parade, but the city is clean sweeping sidewalks on at least Grand of homeless tented up structures on the sidewalks and looks like they are adding concrete anti-car barriers around P&L.

Should happen on every street, every day of the year.

Merits of the ruckus aside, I thought Grand was supposed to be closed on the weekends between 13th and Truman?
