Description
2015 renovations to this intersection have made a bad intersection worse... used to be a 4 way stop with the stop signs too far apart, but renovations have made it confusing. I can't tell if it is still a 4 way stop with stop signs EVEN FURTHER apart, or if it is now 2 sets of 2-way stops that are way too close to one another. If I'm trying to go "straight" from Mason St onto Harmony Grove Rd, who do I yield to and who yields to me??? All you needed to do to make this intersection work was tighten the intersection, pulling all the stop signs closer together. 2015 renovations made things WAY worse.

I think that the intersection is less confusing than when we had 5 stop signs.
However, the fix is a simple one. Give the right of way in the direction of Mason St onto Harmony Grove Take the stop signs off these corners and require the other intersection to stop all the time. This isn't an overly busy intersection and at one time, stop signs were used in the traditional way. The new design where we changed the intersection doesn't really make great sense.
I don't know if it is because off the great expense to create a bike lane but the design does make the intersection more complex as a 4- stop sign intersection. Give Mason Street the right of way and call it a day.
By the way, I travel this intersection every day for over 10 years and I have never seen a bicycle on it. When we develop bicycle lanes in the city; what criterion do we use to make a logical decision?
