Trails

[clasher]

The only time there is a lot of traffic at Stirling and Courtland is during the rush hours and even then it's not terrible to use the lights but it's also when the bus stop in front of southwood plaza is usually busy and there's not really any room to walk a bike through the crowd. I drive through that intersection a lot too and it seems most people just ride their bikes through the crosswalks and continue on the trail. I think a speed bump is a bit much on a busy street like this but Stirling is a lot less busy than Courtland even though it's got more lanes. I think if they put stop lines and a "do not block trail crossing" sign it might encourage people to leave a gap for trail users to make it to the island and if the light is red on Courtland the only traffic would be left turns from Stirling since most right turns would use the lane on the other side of the island. The annoying thing would be random people stopping on Courtland when the light is green and causing dangerous ambiguity of who has the right of way... but at least there would be an island to wait on.
