That stretch of Highland between Westheights and Ira Needles doesn't even have any places to turn into or out of except the intersection so really wonder why they need 4 lanes there. It's been pretty ruined by the construction equipment near the roundabout so I'm glad it's getting re-done but it doesn't seem like it's really busy enough to merit 4 lanes... kinda like Belmont I guess they say it's a truck route so they need a passing lane going up the hill there... but still, idk.
Lol, it doesn't, traffic volumes don't warrant it. But they think in 30 years they might, so better build now eh...that's never been a self fulfilling prophecy. They are considering what horror motorists would have to suffer through being stuck behind an every 15 minute bus however.
That being said, I had a total brain fart, Bleams is the road that the report discusses. They do mention highland, but only in terms of a consultant fee upset, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.
