nice … I always grate when driving on 4th or Broadway (others also hold true, those aways seem worst) that half of the road is almost inevitably stopped waiting for a turning car … suggesting that 2 lanes are entirely sufficient to handle traffic loads (with turn lanes where needed) and 4 is largely superfluous.

Does the city has the intention to take account of this presentation when come the Commercial drive redesign?

if so great…

btw, I think the figure are a bit over optimistic for the surface transit throughput
(at least if we want to keep a decent level of service, and I am not convinced automation of transit will buy anything substantial in term of surface transit capacity…well will see)

Who am I and what is this

I am a transportation economist and regional planner, displaced from England by the abolition of the Greater London Council and a dislike of Thatcherism. Until March of 2004 I worked for the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority on wide variety of policy issues. I have long advocated sensible policies to better integrate transport and land use. And this blog is a way to keep up the pressure! It also allows me to vent a bit on related issues.
