The project would eliminate the northbound right-turn lane on Hope Street at Glenbrook Road, instead creating more green space. Cars would still be able to make the right turn, but the intersection would be narrower. The idea is that eliminating the right-turn lane, described as a “slip lane” since cars do not have to slow down to continue on the road, would make it much safer for pedestrians.
