You’re looking at that right by the way. THREE freeway ramps!! I walked this last week and it was genuinely terrifying. The first freeway ramp when coming from the bus stop has NO pedestrian lights or signals.

Also those of you with good eyes will notice that there is NO SIDEWALK south of the bus stop. None. If you want to walk south on that particular street (which is 5 lanes btw) then you have to cross the freeway to get to the other side of the road.

It’s really bad. Don’t fool yourself. Typical layout of a car-centric design.

What would improve it in your view? I mean it’s an artery joining a freeway, there’s going to be cars.

Putting a bus stop at those businesses on the other side would help.

That comes at the cost of slowing down the bus for everyone for a two minute, plus waiting at stoplights, walk.

At least a small bridge over the multi lane street.

Proper ped/cycle infrastructure is at grade with cars doing the climbing.
