| Fast-moving traffic along Detroit Avenue in front of the West Boulevard-Cudell rapid transit station, at right, completes a pedestrian moat around the station. The north and west sides of the station are blocked by railroad tracks. The avenue will be narrowed and a landscaped pedestrian island added beyond the West Boulevard intersection at the next traffic light (Google). CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE THEM. |
Unfortunately, there are many places in Cleveland where crossing a wide, busy street is like being the frog in the video game Frogger. But having that be the case at the front door to a rapid transit station reduces the usage of that station. And it reduces the potential for that station to spur the development of housing, jobs and services within a short walk.
