I'm asking about Golden Valley Road between Sierra Highway and Centre Point Parkway (down the hill by LA Fitness).

For the last couple months, the construction looked like it was going to widen it to 3 lanes on each side. Although it is obviously not complete (cones and equipment are still there), it appears the plan was to only resurface the road and redraw the same previous lines at 2 lanes.

While there can be an argument for widening roads actually leading to more traffic and not less, or the fact that infrastructure is never perfect, this just feels like such a letdown. I was hoping the road would have been redesigned or redrawn to improve traffic in/out of Golden Valley High. That stretch of road is one of the slowest bottlenecks, backing people up and down Sierra Highway and leads to last-second lane-cutters. And it's unsafe for kids being dropped off at the bus stop at Robert C. Lee.

While I don't directly believe widening to 3 lanes would have greatly improved the kids-being-dropped-off situation, I was just hoping for an improved design. But, no - it's apparently the same old shit.
