I'm curious to know what people thought of the City's "closed slip lane" experiment yesterday and today. I navigate Davis Square's "mother of all intersections" on foot several times a day. I fully expected to enjoy one less lane to "Frogger" my way across, but I found the closure (of the so-called "slip lane" in front of Mike's) disconcerting. Maybe it was the newness? Maybe it was the seeming overabundance of seating options with tables at Mike's and Blue Shirt Cafe so close? (Although, granted, the new tables were in neutral territory -- as in no purchase needed to sit and relax.) Maybe it was the angry and confused motorists trying to figure out what the hell happened to the left turn lane? I can't put my finger on it but something didn't gel for me about that little experiment in urban planning. Did anyone else have a positive or negative experience?
