^First of all, bikes are NOT meant for crosswalks, sidewalks etc. Secondly, 100 meters ??? you poor poor soul! Heavens for bit you walk 2 minutes to a cross walk! Instead we will cause more traffic back up in an already clogged area, and idle more cars, just so you and your lazy arse can walk in traffic. Do us a favor, stay home.

Mike, you are a poor soul who just flames around the internet to relive inner anger. You should get out of the car more and then you would understand. Lucky for all of us, it is not people like you that take care of this city.

So you tell "mike" to get out of the car more, yet you can't walk the (2m:15 seconds, just did the walk now) to the cross walk ? oh the irony.. it is a silly idea having yet another cross walk in this area. There are now 3. If we do this at every area where people like to j-walk, we might as well just close the city off to cars. It's already a traffic nightmare, and the fumes are rotten. We need traffic to MOVE not sit and idle.

Mike, Edward, you obviously think you have it figured out, yet the city is moving on with the traffic light. You should ask yourself why is that. When you drive, you only see yourself. If you actually walked a little, you would change your opinion. As for myself, I do walk quite a bit, thanks for asking. More importantly, this light is not only about me and my small children. It is in the middle of the university campus and used by many many walkers and cyclers. Non car traffic at this light is very high. When you however examine car traffic in this small stretch, you will find anything from people who reach 80kph or more to those that drive so slowly and even stop in the middle of the street to let people cross even though it is not a marked crossing. This creates much confusion. If you want traffic to flow, you can always synchronize the lights.
Regardless of all this philosophy, this city is changing radically and introducing great number of new people each year. I can not say I like that, but guys like you are in for a big change. Traffic is not going to get any better, and you'll see many more hot spots like this one turn into regulated crossings. It is the sign of times and flaming about it will not help you.
