soon as the big party came along tho, tptb approved that shit so fast you wouldn't believe, and the first day they quadrupled the expectations of traffic on it

no stats, but i'd say it has definitely lowered the amount of single occupancy vehicles, and encouraged business growth along the entire line

go figure.
