Ep. 4: Can a Road Diet Work Here? Yes—and Here’s the Data to Prove It
In this myth-busting episode, host Ellen Brabo dives into the real traffic data surrounding 15th Street and tackles head-on the claim that a road diet can’t work here.
Backed by local traffic studies, NCDOT counts and federal guidelines from the FHWA, Ellen explains why the Stantec plan is not only viable, but tailored to the exact volume of traffic we have today (and even projected in the future).
She also addresses the common comparison to 5th Street: Why it feels congested, what signal timing has to do with it and why design alone isn’t the issue. You’ll come away with clear answers, real data and the confidence to push back against misleading narratives.
