saw on facebook Lulu is closing at the end of this year. Anyone know what is going in there?

I think this is why the County Commission raised issues with the plans a few weeks ago...they want this looked into more. My question is if the new lane designs (HOT flyover from 277 to 77 N) will alleviate the major backup that now occurs every afternoon with vehicles merging onto 77N from 277. Also, with so much traffic merging onto 277 between the Independence W on ramp to the 277 N off-ramp, have traffic studies taken into account all of the lane changing and jockeying that will occur to get onto either the HOT lane flyover or the 77 N on ramp from 277?

Does anyone know how likely the Smart Start grant is to be selected by the FTA? Or, what percent of Smart Start grant applications are awarded? I looked on the Smart Start federal website and it only shows $ awarded; not details regarding which projects were chosen from years passed. I'm trying to figure out how likely it is the streetcar matching grant is selected by the Feds. Thanks!
