Byers remorse

Eastbound on Reno on the way out of Bricktown, you encounter a light. To the north — left — is Lincoln; to the south — right — is Byers. If you're like me, you've come up to that light and thought, "Didn't I just pass Byers a block ago?"

You did, of course. City Council has finally decided that this is completely farging insane, and that southbound loop of Byers (which, once it approaches the Rotary Playground around SE 11th, becomes Central Avenue anyway) will be renamed South Lincoln Boulevard once they can scrape up some money for signage.

One bête noire down, one to go. (The other? Kelley north of I-44, where westbound 69th is actually a block or so south of eastbound 68th.)
