My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry

Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?

If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.

Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.

I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians

I may just be being stupid because i don't live near like. Any good public transportation whatsoever, but how do you cross the tracks safely? Would you just walk over them, or is that dangerous?

You can see the tram, you wait for it to pass and walk, their not super fast, but yeah, you can cross actually easily on tram tracks. As long as you have maybe 50 feet between you and the tram you should be safe
