Erb/Caroline. I have no problems with this configuration of crossing lanes - in fact, I prefer the pedestrian islands, both as someone on foot, and as a driver. If, for example, I want to cross as a pedestrian from the island over to Clay and Glass (to the left, here) - I just look to my right. I make eye contact with one driver, and we agree when it's my turn to cross, I give a little wave, and life's great. As a driver, I'm only having to look at two spots for people - on my left, and on my right, before proceeding. If I see someone, I wait. Way, way simpler than if you have to look in multiple places with people darting out in front of you everywhere.
For those who are interested.
Tamper was out today, workin' away.
Loving the new internal-counterweight catenary tensioners!
