Progress!

I noticed today that all the work being done on Lake Street has resulted in something I wasn't expecting: An oh-so-beautiful left-turn lane on Lyndale north and south at the Lake intersection! I've been driving here long enough where I know which lane to be in on Lyndale between 36th Street South and Franklin to avoid getting stuck behind someone attempting a turn. (And I go both ways: I have it down pat while driving north or south.) But an actual left turn lane on Lyndale and Lake? I have never been more thrilled in a mundane drive home from running errands.

Now if we could just get those losers leaving the Wedge parking lot to quit exiting onto Lyndale. I have yet to yield to one of 'em, and I plan on going undefeated.
