Linden Blvd has a 6 lane center portion (3 in each direction) flanked by service roads on either side. Elevate the central portion with entrance/exit ramps to allow thru traffic continuous movement without having to stop at lights, eliminating congestion caused by the stop and go movement due to the lights, and making it safer because thru cars are now separated from pedestrians trying to cross what is now 8-10 lanes of traffic. You can place bike lanes under the elevated center lanes so they're totally separated from the traffic lanes (as should be done along Park Av and 3rd avenues in Brooklyn and anywhere else that there is space under and elevated highway or over a cut as well). |
