We believe the Kagy Expansion project is a bad idea for the city, MSU, and the neighborhood. The key problem we
observe on Kagy are the on-demand pedestrian crossings. Put these on a timer so more than one person crosses foreach cycle. Sync it with the traffic lights and the majority of the backups will be taken care of. Switch the signal at11th and Kagy to a roundabout and you take care of another big problem (note the College and 11th roundabout haseliminated the historic backups at that intersection). Add an overpass for students.
Lots of options are available. Building more lanes just means more cars and a wider road to have to cross as apedestrian. Don't try to build you way out of this situation. $15 million to save a minute of travel for a few years isridiculous way to spend our tax dollars.
