Description
Turning right on Marin while going west on Christopher Columbus is a nightmare. The pedestrian crossing is on and there are traffic trying to get on Marin from both sides of Christopher Columbus. Either have a dedicated right turn signal or dedicated pedestrian crossing signal. There is ton of foot traffic and it’s unsafe for pedestrians and drivers.

That's a cool map KathrynM! Especially given the new density, the only way to improve traffic there will be to get some people out of cars, and a bike lane network is a good way to do that. A lot of JC car trips could be replaced by (e-)bikes / scooters, but when you force mixing with car traffic you're effectively banning those modes for 99% of people.
If you're curious, here's a video of me riding Marin from 9th to South Cove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTFHD7FODEM
and back up to 8th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OccaXy3-oqA
in February on a ≤20mph pedal-assist bike, passing cars stuck in traffic most of the way.
Most ppl ages 8 to 80 can get around JC at 15-20mph on vehicles like this for 5% the cost of a car (it would solve our traffic and parking problems as well). I bought my first one in November and now have 4 😂 Let me know if you'd like to try one (we can do a safer route than Marin).

which operates under capacity constraints during peak periods. The traffic signal timing was optimized to include a Leading Pedestrian Interval to give pedestrians a head start cross Columbus Dr while maintain the throughput along Marin Blvd. We will continue you monitor this intersection as we finalize the Marin Blvd Roadway Safety Improvements project, as well as the Columbus Dr Roadway Safety Improvements project.
