The Solution?Get the turning cars out of the stream of traffic. This is done by eliminating one lane in eachdirection, and creating a median with room for left turn pockets. Bike lanes can fill the edgesof the street. Initially this can be done by simply repainting the street. It all fits between the
existing curbs. A second phase could introduce raised and landscaped medians, whichwould extend to the crosswalks to improve pedestrian safety.
No ramp from sidewalk into the crosswalkNo painted crosswalk for blocksNo respect from driversAfter waiting several minutes, she pushed
