Even by 3pm, that route as well is a parking lot and can be backed up to the 64th Ave. interchange. With the imposition of afternoon counter-flow lanes, I could see that back-up extending right onto BC-99. Ergo, I don't believe this concept to be such a great idea.

That was my initial reaction as well, but it's probable that it's just the light at 72nd that's causing the delay NB during the PM-peak. Once they build the interchange it'll be interesting to see how much it will improve congestion. I'm sure the counterflow idea will be much more justifiable once the interchange is built.
