as someone who's driven down Lake Street in rush hour nearly every day for the past 5 years, i can say with some assurance that the two main reasons for the horrific backups in that area are all the "no turn" signs that the oh-so-persnickety folks living in the neighborhoods near Lake Street had installed, and the bike path.
if *all* the traffic that used lake street wasn't forced into this one unnatural channel, then forced to stop every 15 seconds, it would flow a lot faster.
