This is really scary to cross. I've done it many times both on bicycle and on foot I and have never gotten use to it.
The area in front of the Art Museum is dangerous. The little piece of land is too small in the middle when crossing. Cars can’t be allowed to stop in the drive lane in front of steps. The current set up doesn’t work This should be addressed ASAP… for everybody’s benefit. https://t.co/pucEJCUIbi
