So everyone is aware the project site is: EastJeffersonCorridor.com.

I have adopted a lot of the planning philosophies of an organization called strong towns, not sure if any of you have heard of them, and for East Jefferson this YouTube by them is crucial.
There is a group called Dover Kohl on YouTube and they do a great job, this video specifically talks about the street as a public room. I recommend their whole TOWN PLANNING STUFF series.
I think the street layout in this image would be perfect for E Jefferson since it is already so wide.
One of their FAQs is:
When we say public transit improvements, what do we mean?
"Jefferson already has 5 bus lines! 2 DDOT Routes [[9 and 80) and 3 SMART routes. One goal of this Study is to improve the experience of using transit on Jefferson. This could include different things such as better transit shelters or a bus-only lane. Additionally, the City is considering many transit options, including light rail, bus rapid transit, and other express bus services for Jefferson. Outside of this study, DDOT is working on making it easier to pay, extending service hours and bus frequency. This study will help us determine what’s possible for Jefferson."
