The point was to have traffic calming. Adding back in a traffic lane defeats that purpose. I’m not sure what you are calling for here to improve it. Could you elaborate? (We know they aren’t adding a BRT lane for a circulator or light rail.

Not entirely sure, tbh. Like I think daylighting the canal would've been great and compatible with both traffic calming and a bike lane (at the expense of parking), but with that and transit off the table I think I'd still rather have the bike lane in the middle of the road like the proposal for 33rd St. Then you could put the parking against the curb but have bumpouts to shorten crossing distances too?

It would be pretty awesome to have the water taxi run up the canal into the central part of the city.
