Scenario: there’s a cross-city street (residential and commercial and cuts through a university campus) that’s got two-way traffic with a left turn lane and parking on both sides of the street. It carries a fair bit of traffic, especially folks in town who don’t want to take the interstate, but isn’t a state highway. People fly up and down it making it unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists alike.

The challenge (should you choose to accept it): make this street safer for everyone.

Remove the left turn lanes and replace them with a center turn lane, use that left over land for protected bike lane, add curb bumpouts at the intersection to increase pedestrian visibility and plant street trees, all of these should work in combination to slow down drivers
