I have mixed feelings on the proposed changes. As a driver, I'm generally not a fan of eliminating lanes and find that stretch of Idylwyld usually not that bad, so long as you keep to the most easterly lane, both northbound and southbound.

However, the current "turning lane" from Idylwyld southbound onto Auditorium Ave (by Cactus Club) is only about 2/3 of a lane wide and creates a real hazard, either backing up traffic or having passing vehicles squeezing into the adjacent lane. Similarly the mixed turning/through lane northbound at 22nd Street causes confusion. Fixing those two issues would be very beneficial.
