I would take that one step further and create curb bump outs at all the minor crossings that narrow the road to a single shared lane. Shortens the crossing distance for trail users and slows vehicle traffic. I'm thinking particularly of Gage and John on the IHT and pretty much everything except Union, Moore, and Weber on the Spurline.

It could be done with parking chocks and flexible bollard flag thingy's.

This would be a more permanent solution:

This design makes absolute perfect sense, and I have 100% faith that it won't happen in the near, or mid term timeframe...maybe, one day, but not for many decades.

I'm so cynical these days...
