It'd be great if they even did the build housing stage but they don't even allow housing development for fear it will bring congestion to the streets... for which they can't build mass transit because there isn't a dense enough pop... because they won't build more housing.

The Camino has the width to allow an underground subway as well as dedicated bike lanes (barriers between car and bike traffic) in both directions. A subway would take enough cars off the road that eliminating two car lanes for bikes would result in no impact to car congestion.

Given its width they could do open trench construction to reduce building costs --the widths also means there are no nearby building they need to support and prop up during construction --only the roaddeck.
