02.04.2025 20:27 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Even though the intersections on the south aren't great, it does slow traffic down and create more logical flow. (Especially if the Stadium gets redone with a diverging diamond.)
On the north, right now it's safe & easy to walk/bike to the park from the west. Bringing all that traffic up stops that
Oh, I think the current freeway setup is abysmal. Like, it needs to be reimagined and redone/gone. Full stop.
I want to like "end middle" for the boulevard but as you said, the intersections are π₯΄.  It's why I think "end north" is best aligned with what I'd like to see.
Plus, I'll admit, I don't want to completely give up quick & easy access to 94. It's part of the reason I wanted to live here - easy access. 
I would've done a lot different before 1962 when it opened if I could, but seeing as we are where we are, I have a hard time going that far back. I admit it.
Β―\_(γ)_/Β― 
I think ultimately it all boils down to raising it up and having more intersections or narrowing what exists but keeping a decent chunk lowered but with cross traffic & such to limit  speeds where it can. 
The elevation changes make doing a lot just very difficult.
So, to that point, I like the northern 1/2 of "North" better and the southern 1/2 of "South" better. 
If I were benevolent decision maker, that's what I'd offer as my "preferred alternative."
I will admit, loss of 44th St for rail-fanning and to have an "easy out" from Brewer Games to go north is a bit sad, but I can't exactly say I'm surprised by it at all.

Maybe keeps a little more of the "expressway" feel than some folks are comfortable with, but I think it does a good job of connecting around for everyone.
Nah, this was always expected.
Kinser ran a stronger campaign than anyone in over 15 years for that spot.

But I remember covering the early Tea Party rallies in February 2009, when the CW was "look at this stupid shit, do Republicans actually want to associate w this?"
I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. 
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. 
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.
By advocating for zero-based budgeting in government, one immediately reveals oneself as a crank who knows nothing about the last five decades of public finance.
