Street 90? What are you, a plumber?
That is actually pretty cool, even if it is a little hackey. It was well done.

Oh I see it now. That's a street 90 the screen is on. I thought you were calling the LB a "street". Sorry.

I wouldn't do it myself, but it looks like it would have gotten the job done. Why do you think it was getting so hot as to require these steps to allow for cooling?

I've seen some ventilated bus duct before, but nothing like that.
