Description

Metro Plaza construction site added extremely wide pedestrian walkway, taking over an entire traffic lane. The result is an extremely sharp jog in traffic lanes within the 4th Street/Marin intersection with a SB left turn lane. Bicycles will share the walkway with pedestrians. The southbound left turn lane has been reduced in length so only two vehicles can fit while waiting for on-coming traffic to lighten up to make the turn - causing a back up to the single southbound lane. At the north end of the construction site, it also has a jog with three lanes having to make the abrupt adjustments upon exiting or entering the intersection at Sixth Street. Vehicles travel at fast speeds, not always staying in the lane they should be in. It could be a matter of time with head on collisions or pedestrians scrambling to maneuver through the area.
