Mission to adopt road diet

According to a KCStar article:
A Mission task force has given the tentative green light to a narrower Johnson Drive.

The mayor-appointed task force had reached a deadlock about whether Johnson Drive should remain a four-lane thoroughfare or be narrowed to two lanes with a dedicated turn lane. Several consultants have suggested the city transform Johnson Drive into a more pedestrian-friendly district with wider sidewalks.

But the three-lane approach was able to gain a majority on Wednesday when hesitant members learned about potential to make the change temporary at first by simply re-striping the road.
