Why do you propose new solutions when you don't even bother to comment on the previous person's recommendations?
There would be no need for expensive revisions to the median. Again, all you would need to do is add two more stop signs, making the intersection a 4-way stop.
Someone ask if there are not bike crossing warning already. Yes, there are overhead caution signs. But they are not big enough or in the right spots. The Deathmobile drivers would eventually ignore them anyway. They are less likely to blow through a stop sign at a high rate of speed.
Please don't suggest the city spend more of our money more on infrastructure when the right thing to do is to have the drivers stop (as well as the bicyclists) at these intersections.
There are four-way stop sign all over the city for DM drivers. Why not a few more to save a life or two? Why do we always have to be thinking about the convenience of the DM driver and not the bicyclists and pedestrians.
