I don't think there is any need to have a bus lane between Woodroffe and Constellation since there are no buses running along Baseline between Navaho and Constellation.

As for Constellation, it had only been sealed last fall, and needed another layer of asphalt, which is being added now. Soon all will be beautiful on Constellation. The rest of the design, as you point out, indicates unfathomable thinking on the part of City Staff.
