What could be worse for a liberal? I drove up to my favorite coffee shop, Rockford, here in Bozeman, and it had that yellow tape around it, and the front window was covered with a gray tarp. There had been a fire.
I thought of how Norm must have felt when the Hungry Heifer went down.
Anyone know what happened? Wulfy, Bob? Any ideas on what’s the second best coffee shop in Bozone?

One-ways should also go the other way. They deliberately did it that way to prevent people from circling blocks looking for parking places. Got that from the horse’s mouth. Go figure.

That horse was wrong. The state/feds don’t want a left turn onto the couplet.
The new downtown plan calls for the one ways to go back to both ways.

Not sure I like that.
What are you referring to .. “left turn on to the couplet”? What’s a couplet?

I see the horse didn’t get into details. The couplet is a term for the two one ways paralleling the
highway. For the one ways to be reversed, the through traffic,(truck traffic, for instance, when it ran constantly down 191) would have to turn left at Wallace across two lanes of traffic. Traffic engineers just aren’t going to buy off on a movement like that.
Moving traffic, after all, is the mantra on a highway. The couplets (two one ways) are designed for just that and ease the pressure on the main highway, main street.
Turning the one ways back to two ways, with bike lanes, parking and boulevards would be great for downtown. It turns them away from highways and back to city streets.

Interesting – too complicated for me. I guess I’ll stop referring to our traffic department as “Mrs. Hartman’s eighth grade class.”
The guy we talked to, who was a dinner guest with us at someone else’s home, and whose name I don’t remember, had retired from the city, and my complaint was about the lights on 19th, which often seem to impede the flow of traffic. He said the state of Montana is in charge of that.
