Excuse the crude phone drawing, because that's all I have right now, but just a few ideas. Assuming there's enough space and that this side street is quite low volume.

Orca is the best design in North America. Charlie is kinda ridiculous, and just seems dated.

Headline is a bit misleading. They're pivoting to BRT

Wasn't me

I took this a bit farther and looked a few cities specifically focusing on bus efficiency. St. Louis and Cleveland are very similar cities in terms of population, rust belt decline, etc., but also in terms of their modest "metro" systems. CLE slacks on rail ridership, but has larger bus ridership

You also could get this island to make a complete crosswalk on all 4 sides

2 oneways would be interesting. I think we might have talked about back at the start.

It would mean this intersection at Memorial needs updating.

Seems like drivers will roll through the crossing. And then cyclists have a tight corner from north to west

Yeah, combine this with the missing Northside drive into one route.

I know this doesnt line up into a full loop. Something about the 1,12,14 could be swapped around.

Maybe the 1 stays on JEL, but becomes a loop, new line on NSD?

(Also should go on Hill, not Grant. too lazy to redraw)
