Can you show us where the bike lane or outdoor dining shed is that’s causing all this traffic in this photo you used from 2006?

Is that a bus lane with a van parked in it on the left?

The far left was a bus stop in 2006. Today Broadway is configured with parking on either side of the street, and the left traffic lane is painted red for busses only. The bus stop is now just south of this image, below Spring Street, with a bus island.
