So we've had fun fixing and improving a good street, but what about a typical American city street, how do we fix this, and easy solutions should be thought about

narrow the intersections, add trees and raise pedestrian walk ways on the intersection.

That's a start that boosts walkability

Trees have been added and a curb bump out has been installed at the intersection

The Bus has been trolleyed and there is now a small bus stop

isnt there still a parking spot at the bus stop?

you could turn the bus stop into a full blown shelter and add some non-bus benches.

Oh fuck, also I tried doing a bus shelter, but couldn't draw it in a way that looked nice, but the parking is now removed

Delete the curb that just makes the bike lane stop abruptly it's just flat out inconvenient at that point

I was trying to figure out how to keep the curb bump out, but yeah, this is better

is the bike path segregated from the car area? it's unclear...

otherwise drivers will just use it as a parking space. adding either bollards or a green space between the cycle path and the main road would prevent this
