GUEST COLUMN: West Broadway plan a folly of Titanic proportions

The present Community Advisory Committee for the West Broadway expansion is charged with tweaking a few of the design options and making suggestions. It is this participant's belief that all major decisions have been made elsewhere.  The question is where and when, and by whom.  Without being there, I question City Council's motives. Did it want to show off the painted GetAbout Columbia paths and love of a parkway, or did it want to create a workable street where cars and bikes and residents can coexist in harmony?  If it was the latter, it has certainly failed miserably.
