Downtown One-way Streets

[BKDotCom]

Another great thing about two-way streets:  hitting all the red lights.
The lights can be coordinated on a one way street (Cincinnati, Cheyenne, 7th).
Try driving down Boston now that it's two way (tip: don't do it).

Detroit, Cincy, Cheyenne, 6th and 7th should stay one way for easy ingress/egress to the IDL.

Main, Boulder, First, Second, Fourth, Fifth need to change...Fourth is just stoopid that it is two way until the Grey hound station at Detroit and then one way eastbound through the rest of Downtown.

Of course, you hit all the lights green going north on Boston, but I avoid taking Boston south for that very reason.

Ever since they changed Boston to two-way, that light at Third and Boston is just obscenely long. I swear you wait a full 60 seconds if you're traveling on Third, and one or two cars actually go through the green on Boston.

That portion of Fifth that's one-way (between Boulder and Denver) is just stupid. Especially since the one-way signs are some kind of stylized reverse-type garbage that shouldn't even be legally allowable for such an important piece of signage. I assume it's a remnant from the Main Mall days.

For driving, I like one ways. But they're too efficient. They make downtown feel like an abandoned city. They encourage people to drive 40mph on the edges of downtown where there are no stoplights. As a pedestrian, two-ways with slower traffic at least make the city feel like it has life on a Saturday night.

I drive often drive from 7th and Boston all the way to 18th. It doesn't seem bad at all. The lights are perfectly timed for the speed limit. If you hold steady at 20mph you will make them all without ever hitting the brake. It amuses me. Those who accelerate hard have to brake hard and wait for the next light.

Perhaps you mean farther North on Boston?

edit: Wait a minute. I think that's Cincinnati. Never mind. Boston does suck.
