It's really bad. Don't fool yourself. Typical layout of a car-centric design.
What would improve it in your view? I mean it’s an artery joining a freeway, there’s going to be cars.
At least a small bridge over the multi lane street.
Proper ped/cycle infrastructure is at grade with cars doing the climbing.
given the scale involved i don’t think you’d be tight on space with just a pedestrian ramp, much less rasing or lowering the road. Given how it’s just two lanes each way plus a turning lane i’d imagine a stoplight’s pedestrian cycle should be enough.
Putting a bus stop at those businesses on the other side would help.
That comes at the cost of slowing down the bus for everyone for a two minute, plus waiting at stoplights, walk.
