“Head on” Intersection where 1-way meets 2-way
Left-turning buses block traffic
Wide 5-point Intersection is difficult to cross, requires extra signal phase
Multiple, closely spaced signals are inefficient, contribute to traffic backups
Slow traffic and median encourage jaywalking
Bus Movement + Layover conflict with Pedestrians

Remove existing median; provide wider sidewalk in front of MNR station
Relocation of Bus Area changes the pedestrian desire line and encourages use of existing crosswalks
Contiguous plaza reduces bus/pedestrian conflicts
Narrower intersections increases the pedestrian realm and reduces potential conflicts
