    This article is about a road diet in terms of restriping an existing road with fewer lanes, but the same amount of asphalt (and, given the additional markings, probably a similar amount of paint). I don't see what that has to do with the infrastructure being not needed.

  This comment box is too small to provide a proof ;) I’m sorry, it’s not fair to make a controversial statement and then leave it at that but I only had the appetite to provide the hypothesis (easy) not the backing (I’ve got to collate my notes on this). But, if you’re down to meet in SF one evening in April we could go over it.
