There is a concept to build an underpass at 5th:That's a really good observation about 5th Street SE. From that rendering it appears 5th descends as an underpass. I'm a little out of the loop, but could it have been aligned to a previous Green Line plan? Apologies if I got this wrong.
You can now turn onto the 5th Ave flyover from 4th street via the lane on the north side of ArrisYeah. Another underpass a block away makes no sense. It is not like there are a lot of traffic options heading north or east without some zigging and zagging. 4 St SE going north is not ideal as it does not connect directly with the 'flyover'. You have to go west a couple of blocks, then north and east again. Your only option going east on 9th Ave is through Inglewood which is also not ideal.
5 St SE north presents the same challenges.
It would be better than 5th. I suspect an underpass at 11th St SW will be higher priorityAn underpass at 6th would be nice...
I am not sure if this is the case, but is this one of those CRL allocation problems? 11th Street is the priority but the funding is only available for 5th Street SE due to the East Village rules where the funding can't leave the area it's generated.It would be better than 5th. I suspect an underpass at 11th St SW will be higher priority
Sure enough ... you canYou can now turn onto the 5th Ave flyover from 4th street via the lane on the north side of Arris
Yuck! Please No.Switch it all to corten.
Yeah, having one at 5th doesn't really make a lot of sense IMO. If you're going to do it, at least have it a couple blocks over.An underpass at 6th would be nice...
11St should be way higher on the priority list, but 5th would be easier to do and part of the Green line / Rivers District, so I put my money on that one happening first.It would be better than 5th. I suspect an underpass at 11th St SW will be higher priority
