Grid Denigraded, Adapted, Upgraded
In this city and for about 100 years the grid-plan served its citizens on foot well. Now with about 80% of all trips made by car, truck or bus, the plan has been denigrated. At this cross intersection of two streets, none is two-way and in one traffic cannot continue through even though the road is available. When driving, people have to learn and relearn that the grid has stopped being one, even though the map shows it unaltered: denigrated, confusing and frustrating and, at times, risky. For those on foot and bike, all remains the same apart from the increased risk of navigating crash-prone intersections and non-segregated paths.
