[Uptown] Erb/Bridgeport/Caroline/Albert Reconstruction

[ijmorlan]

I assume ijmorlan is referring to Caroline Southbound, which is three lanes one way.

Correct. The Westbound route across the city is three lanes from the expressway to Caroline and Erb, then one lane around the corner, then two lanes to Ira Needles. Instead, it should be a consistent two lanes all the way (plus turn lanes of course). The new plan at least calls for the turn lane to be channelized at Caroline and Erb, but that still makes it a chokepoint. If one lane is enough there, then one lane is enough everywhere else as well.
