Wonderful idea on the parking lot. It also beats the newest multi-story parking structure recently advanced IN the downtown. And I love the sign suggestions!

The bottleneck is the only effective traffic-calming measure to get the 75-mph I-80 cars to slow down enough to encounter the pedestrian and bicycle-friendly downtown. Sometimes bottlenecks are poor planning but sometimes they save lives.

Currently, the tunnel is dark, dirty and looks like it belongs in a shady neighborhood. That’s not our town. Our town is wonderful and quaint. Bisch and Nowicki’s ideas reflect how terrific Davis is. What better way to share this but with a tunnel that is as unique as Davis . Keep working on it guys.

If they really plan to build some sort of big hotel and conference center right at that exit, these two need to make the undercrossing REALLY inviting. Otherwise, the hotel guests will just order a lot of room service, because no one can even see downtown from there, and they’ll be hesitant to venture downtown on foot under the train tunnel . We have so much to offer just on the other side of the tunnel, and some people probably won’t bother to leave their hotel.

Kerr – very good points, esp the parking idea.
