Parker already had just as much traffic as Boyd. Now there will be almost double the number of cars on Parker.

I acknowledged that. Let it go.

I was more trying to show how I would get before vs. how it would take to get to that spot now.

Well that's not really possible unless they double the lanes, amirite?

That's not the point. I do not mind driving an extra block.

No left turn at Boyd makes the traffic on Parker exponentially worse.

No, it will just back up all the way to highland instead of half the way between Burbank and Highland

You can still go down Boyd. Right turn onto Burbank then turn left into the mellow mushroom parking lot then get back on Burbank going the way you need to go.

Apparently

There have been so many actual tards in this thread that it's hard to tell the jokes from the serious statements.

Well fyi you are right.

Although, taking a left into the CEBA parking lot can back up/suck at times. Traffic gets congested right there during busy hours.

Or she could get on Gourrier, go to Milford, then turn left onto Burbank. Which should be much easier with the new center turn lane.

This is true. There was no traffic on Milford yesterday. BUT traffic was backed up PAST Milford on Burbank due to yellow-lighters so taking a left would have been difficult anyway.

Traffic will be backed up on Highland at Parker traffic signal to turn left there. Traffic on Parker will be backed up from Burbank across Highland to the lakes.

You can bet your last dollar this is true.

Removing Boyd from the equation is taking away a perfectly good street and diverting the bulk of traffic to Parker.

WTF is the purpose of Boyd if you can only turn right? It wasn't an accident that it was made to access from Highland to Nicholson. Maybe they should make Parker NO RIGHT TURN and let both lanes turn left?????
