First, what happens when nothing is done on Cerrillos? The center lane will fill up with cars coming from the E trying to enter the Cerrillos entrance. Cars exiting and trying to make a left turn (recall the intended market) will be blocked from doing so until the center lane clears, which may take a while on busy days.
To a much lesser degree, there is contention for the center lane between cars coming from the E trying to enter Gilmore, and those exiting from Whole Foods trying to merge into the W-bound traffic. Residential traffic volume entering Gilmore is small.
The problems with this option are similar to those of variant (1).
