Light rail, or a high frequency commuter train, is the only way to keep bridge traffic even remotely in check, but the North side of the river just doesn’t understand math and basic volume calculations that show there’s no way to add more space for cars to move the quantity of vehicles needed for private transit options.
Even better would be understanding that the speed of public transit sets the floor for the speed of private car travel times. The faster you make the public services, the faster the cars get to travel.
