Notice the proposed flex lanes between the Turnpike and Conshy and between Belmont and the Roosevelt Expy., which does jog my memory. The gestation of these lanes will be interesting.
People already frequently use the shoulder as a travel lane in this area (and it pisses me off when they do). "Flex lanes" just makes it legal.
I'll be happier when and if they do the coordinated signal timings that are promised. Umbria St/Leverington Ave/Main St/Green Lane is an absolute nightmare in the mornings approaching 76, especially during the 8-9AM hour, and I think signal timings could help. Similarly, Belmont Ave/Rock Hill Road in Lower Marion Township in the afternoons, particularly during the 5:30-6:30pm hour.
