Anyone complaining about 3 lanes please come to Columbia street between Atlantic and Hamilton aves anytime Monday through Friday. Since the reduction to two lanes a lot of traffic spills onto Columbia Street and has made Columbia the "third lane" ... it's a mess from sun up to sun down.

Worse is Hicks heading north, since every single person wants to turn left onto Atlantic to then get on the BQE. Constant traffic all day.

Yes. Both horrible and made significantly worse by the lane reduction.

Yea the traffic on local streets in that area have been insane since they reduced the lanes. I’m surprised the people who live in that area haven’t complained or maybe a bigger deal out of it.

That was the intent of closing the 3rd lane. Unfortunately it diverts traffic through the neighborhood and less stress on the bridge.

Pretty much every time I am on Columbia I see some nut bag driving in the opposite lane of traffic to try and beat the logjam.

Then fix the problem there. Add speed bumps. Force turns.
