Probably for the best, as the plans were underwhelming. Let's try again in 5 years after the commercial RE market collapses and do it right. [/quote]

what was wrong with the plans?

of all corridors that could benefit from transformation, K St seems to be it.

K St can be a place to go to, or a place to go through. The plans tried to do both and will end up doing neither well. You have to decide what K St will be 10-25 years down the road and build for that.

The last design was basically a poorly functioning expressway. Too many transportation modes with different speeds and needs all jammed onto one road. Way too many opportunities for conflict between the modes. [/quote]
