text: I have mixed feelings on this. Things are smoother than I expected but traffic is WAY down. I do not understand why the city is unwilling to release traffic counts; how hard is it? I do not see more bicyclists; I still see at least a third of the bicyclists using the sidewalks, and people in cars are doing bizarre things: using the handicap ramps as entrances and exits to parking areas, for example. And we've had our first three-car pileup; this is not mentioned in the article. It's too early to judge, I think; but we should at least be gathering data - including traffic counts on alternate routes - and enforcing proper driving and biking.
