Improves the character

The Capitol Square area has been working hard to become a local hub of sorts (for diners, shoppers, moviegoers, etc.). Witness the fact that we now call it the "Capitol Square" area!

But the ugly and pedestrian-unfriendly character of Mass Ave stands as an impediment.

My hope is that the planned changes to the Mass Ave corridor—very much including the reduction from 4 lanes to 3—will improve the character of this potentially vibrant area enormously.
