This is very cool - thanks for sharing.

It's great that you solved one problem that I brought up (parallel streets close together) and another problem that I didn't (construction disruption).

The next post in the series goes into some of the math, but I limited the length of the boulevard because I thought that the return wouldn't be able justify the construction costs further out from the core. That said, if there would be a need to rebuild the freeway anyway, perhaps some of those funds could be utilized for a longer boulevard, which could create nice, first ring, dense residential neighborhoods with their own, smaller commercial footprints.
