Which is super-easy because westbound traffic only needs one lane at the point, since it consists only of traffic making the right from Bridgeport/Caroline* plus a bus every few minutes turning left.
It’s not even like they made a trade-off and decided to give all the space to motor vehicles; it’s that they just do not care.
* Officially Caroline but anybody driving the stretch probably thinks of it as Bridgeport because it functions as such.
This is entirely on point, and this is the most frustrating thing.
Even when they're forced to care (building a bike lane) often a half ass job is done of it.
Not always the case (Waterloo Park for example), but we are predisposed to remember the bad, and there is lots to remember.
