I agree that the roundabout can be changed to one lane and in fact make the westbound lane from south 1st to the roundabout one lane. I don't think it would be practical to shrink the east bound lanes east of the roundabout because one of the exits from the Parmer and Long Center garage is there and they need the second lane to move traffic exiting the garage. It would cause a nasty backup if all of the cars exiting the garage had to merge into one lane before they reach the street. The police block cars from going westbound so all exiting traffic has to go right.
