Getting from Grant St to the Point should take 45 seconds but takes an eternity

45 seconds to travel 2 miles on a street with a half a dozen cross streets?

It's half a mile from Grant Street to Point state park. If the lights were synced up like there are on 5th Ave in Oakland then it could easily be done.

It's not an expectation, but it's not impossible. Before all the construction in Oakland you could go from Bigelow and 5th all the way to the Boulevard of the Allies ramp without stopping for one red light.
