Narrowing lanes on 7th Street did not slow traffic
Here’s the report that shows it didn’t make any difference to traffic speeds. I guess the speed boost of not having stop signs ouweighs the narrower lanes.
“The measured average speed in this area is 27mph with an eighty-fifth percentile speed of nearly 32mph. The measured speeds are higher than desired and suggest the majority of drivers are comfortable driving in 10’ wide travel lanes”

Should’ve gone down to 9’ (or maybe even narrower) if they wanted it to actually work.
