Am I the only one who thinks that the design decision to eliminate the ability for cars to both cross Dexter or make left turns anywhere is a deliberate choice to create driver frustration and reduce favorable attitudes towards building more of these?
Normal protected intersections are terrific and allow automotive traffic to flow in all directions. What was the thought process here?

Stopping people from driving directly to where they want to go reduces traffic apparently.
They use it very deliberately in larger cities to just make driving downtown a hassle.
If it’s just a bit more annoying, people are less inclined to do it.
I think the idea is to discourage drivers from using Thomas, and try to make it the main east-west bike corridor in the area.
