Typical intersection plan

Although the Alta Vista Corridor road is proposed to be a 4-lane road it will widen to 7-lanes at major cross streets as shown above. The additional lanes which appear near intersections are a bus priority lane, left hand turn lane and right hand turn lanes. This design is unfriendly to pedestrians and cyclists using the existing cross streets.
