UP or someone else involved, can you explain why the tracks on Broadway will be on the side of the street instead of in the middle? I'm sure there was solid reasoning behind it, but it seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Elimination of unneeded redundant southbound lane, introduction of turn lane on top of track center alignment, preservation of angled parking spots, pedestrian refuge islands in middle of street, all seem like compelling reasons. Broadway seems like the best (only?) opportunity for this. Sorry, I'm sure it has been explained before, but I've missed it if so.
