First of all, thanks for this opportunity to speak out. I am all for change that will help the flow of traffic and/or increase the quality/livability of a neighborhood. A project like this proposes to do both which sounds great, but seems very unlikely. To handle traffic flow, I would suggest THREE lanes on Burnside with signals set to keep traffic moving.If you have parking, PLUS drivers turning right AND left, waiting for pedestrians crossing side streets, PLUS signals at the intersections, when does the traffic flow?? I am always amazed at how well traffic moves on W. Burnside now and I'm afraid that after spending $50 million PLUS, the traffic would be worse. Maybe a couple foot-bridges over Burnside for pedestrian safety would be cheaper and a lot easier... Please, at least put a LOT of thought into this before spending OUR money. Thanks
