Coming off the freeway with a green light, you can't advance because the new signal at "L" is red. Also, too bad the little island was turned into a giant cement pad. Could have been a nice spot of greenery, maintained by a volunteer group like the one that takes care of the "point" where 23rd & 24th meet further west. Another missed opportunity.
