you are correct that broad street and many others are state highways so the city has very little direct control. That said, some of the bike lane stuff downtown has happened on state highways so they will work with the city on new ideas, but it takes a long time and the city cannot do it solo. I seriously doubt broad street is going on a road diet either way.
