I can't tell what the split on that arterial is. Is that a protected pedestrian/bike lane or dedicated public transit lane? It seems like the 6 lanes on the left are for cars. The right lane on the other side of the huge grass median is for what? There is that nice park/green space as a buffer between the commercial center and the arterial but the only pedestrian connectivity seems to be sidewalks? I wonder if there are any tunnels between the residence area and that green space. There don't seem to be any bridges. Though the residences seem to have some mixed use so maybe it's not all bad if you can still get to the amenities you need without crossing a 6 lane road. Crossing that 8 lane seems like a nightmare for abuela.

I wonder if they would ever encroach on that green space for a highway. That whole band seems like leaving room for future expansion. It would suck to grow up with that park and then lose it to a highway. Even at the intersection it looks like they left room for an interchange.

IME those are bike/scooter lanes but they tend to become unofficial parking spaces for cars and then unofficial bypass car lanes for "smart" people during busy traffic times
