The upgrade replaced century-old storm sewers that caused chronic flooding, and redesigned the street from two lanes each way to one lane each direction with a center turn lane — paving the way for future protected bike lanes.

It’s a major win for drainage, traffic flow, and future cycling infrastructure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
