Hey @natam1! @hunterowens , @hhmckay , Eric Sundquist and I talked this one over yesterday afternoon -- any chance your team could help out on the Streetlight side? Happy to chat more about the ask if helpful...

[natam1]

Yes! Of course! We could do some segment analyses pre and post BRT. I can write up some thoughts

[edasmalchi]

@natam1 @hhmckay have you had a chance to think about this one? I'll be circling back to it this week/next...

[natam1]

Yes! I wrote up some thoughts and ran a few initial studies in Streetlight and Replica but haven't had a chance to post process just yet
