Stadium and Forum intersection improvements aid all travelers

It is misleading to characterize the proposed improvements to the intersection of Forum and Stadium boulevards as a conflict of interest between car drivers and other road users. I use this intersection frequently in all three modes — primarily as a driver or bicyclist, less often as a pedestrian. The proposed changes will be beneficial to all modes. It is obvious that bicyclists and pedestrians benefit from improved visibility to drivers and by allowing southbound bicyclists to cross Forum safely so that they can properly move with traffic.
