a. How could this ascii diagram be improved?...

b. How can this ascii diagram be sorted out better?...

It's from the pdf at http://cambridgema.gov/cpl/hours/newlibmap.pdf
Here's an online viewer for the pdf http://view.samurajdata.se/

For example, how do you reduce the diagram to a more narrow width?...
it has long lines very wide at about 220 columns currently.
