And to that 14,000 you would need to add whatever volume there is on St Leger St.
However, I don't think there is any point in me arguing this with you further.
Let’s review. You said the traffic would move elsewhere, and therefore the insanity would not disappear but just move elsewhere in the city.
I pointed out that the traffic can move elsewhere, while the insanity can just disappear entirely.
Does this make sense? Is there some error in my thinking? Did you say something different from what it looked to me like you said?
Of course a bridge would address the insanity, at a cost of several million dollars. My point is that the insanity can be eliminated for the price of a few large blocks of concrete plus whatever cost you assign to adding a bit more traffic to several surrounding roads, all of which can probably take it without overloading any intersections.
It’s more than a bit rich for you to slink away and claim that there is no point in further discussion.
