It has been accounted for. There is a bus on Broadway, and a quad-tracked 24 hour train.

There was a bus and quad tracked train 10 years ago too… and a Sheridan bus.

Likewise the Asian markets on Argyle draw even more cars in on the weekends, adding to the congestion.

I’m not clear on what you’re arguing for here. More parking? Because that will make traffic worse

Higher density means more cars even with two buses and a train. Traffic was not the issue (except Argyle on weekends). The issue was parking. New dev should account for addition parking. Milwaukee, which doesn’t have a robust public transportation has done a fairly good job of this in the 3rd ward.

Parking adds at least $20,000 of cost per new unit of housing. Who should pay for that?

The developers… which yes raises the cost of the project, which means the housing is less affordable. All I’m saying is that the cars are going to come with the people… there needs to be a plan for it.

I think that goes to Michael's orginal point. The plan is to provide good alternatives to cars--redline, busses, good pedestrian/bike infrastructure. Any other approach will either make the housing crisis worse or the car problem worse

I agree, but that already exists along this corridor and insofar only works well if you’re transiting North and South. There is no train to take you west and the buses along those corridors are very slow. I’ve lived in this area without a car… it is challenging.
