Road design, transportation and walkability
#80
(05-04-2020, 06:59 PM)KevinL Wrote: MUTs work well in low density areas - the ones along Homer Watson, for example, will probably never be used to capacity as that road does not pass any dense developments.

However, in more dense areas they are trying to fill the role of both sidewalk and bike lane when those should probably be separate - navigating around pedestrians at bicycle speeds becomes a point of conflict soon enough. I think our planners are too quick to jump on them as a solution when a more thorough implementation would be safer.

This started with discussion about Fischer-Hallman, I think. And that would likely be a good fit for a MUT, as it will get relatively little either bicycle or pedestrian traffic (for the foreseeable future).
