Then we have the special case of corners where a multi-use trail crosses a busy street, like the intersection of 87th, Damen and Beverly Blvd. Sometimes large groups ride through this intersection, and these newly installed ramps create potential hazards.
 |
| Crosswalk for Damen - nice wide ramp, safer design I rarely see anyone crossing here. |
 |
| Ramp for crossing 87th, following Major Taylor Trail - forces a sharp turn. Traffic waiting to turn (just out of frame to the left) usually limits opportunity to use EB ramp as spillover space for riders trying to go SB and get across 87th during one light cycle. |
 |
| If you're riding with a group of people trying to get across 87th during walk signal, competing with turning cars, does having this edge that could cause someone to fall seem like a good idea? |
 |
| Southwest corner - 87th at Beverly Blvd. If you were riding from the opposite corner with a group of people trying to get across 87th, would you want this raised corner in your path of travel, or would you want something like the corner shown below? |
 |
| No hard edges next to curb ramp Doesn't an installation like this make a LOT more sense for a location where a trail is crossing a busy street? |
