I like the ideas! I also like even more the idea that relatively small changes can make a big difference.. or at least test prediction versus outcome. I absolutely agree that Seminary and the area surrounding the train station needs to be more pedestrian friendly and inviting. Real crosswalks (with stop signs?) directly across from the train station to the shops (Cornucopia, the new brew pub, etc.) would be easy and a great step. I would definitely be interested if a group ever wanted to get together, with maps and a whiteboard(?), to discuss potential proposals and needs.

It goes a little out of scope of this article, but there are certainly improvements that could be made to the signal lights on Main St. as well, i.e. increased time for crossing, a short, pedestrain-only, window for all of the signals on Main St, not just the one or few.

Anyway, great work on all of this! Thanks for the thinking, the caring and the work involved...
