If you have lived around that intersection during rush hour, you will have noticed that cars turning from Caroline NB/SB onto Erb St EB/WB don't follow their lanes very well. In each direction, cars will turn illegally wide, cutting the throughput by half or more. When it's turning EB, both sides can complete their turn on the red and aren't in the intersection as much to block anything, but when a left-turning to-WB-Erb car gets caught, it can jam the whole intersection. Since people haven't smartened up about that intersection, even without LRT, I wouldn't be opposed to removing the left due to the traffic issues it causes. Now, Caroline is the primary supply for Erb from the North, and FDB from the south, splitting the loading a bit better.
