Should that apply to automotive traffic as well? Construction? Liquor laws? Parking? Where does one draw the line.
Tom, your post is exactly what I was thinking, too. You write it more eloquently than I ever could have. I’m always blown away at how some people actually think reading certain posts on this forum sometimes.
This whole thing of pedestrians ranting about how the world should revolve around only them, and how they should be allowed to break whatever rules exist, and how they should be able to do whatever they want is so, so very tiring.
“Well I walk so everything should cater to ME!!!!!”
I can't speak for everyone, but I've tried to make my position clear, it isn't about whether one should or shouldn't break the rules, it's whether people do.
The same is true for drivers, whether drivers should or shouldn't park in the uptown bike lanes is irrelevant, if designers don't want them too, the design should make it difficult or impossible to do so.
If you don't want people leaving through that end of the station, then it should be hard or impossible to do so, just putting up a sign, where people naturally want to go won't stop people from going there, right or wrong.
The separate discussion of whether it makes sense to block one end of a transit station in the middle of downtown is separate discussion, I'll assume you aren't suggesting pedestrians are wrong in feeling they should be catered to at a transit station.
