Nothing is worse than a wide street over an expressway intersecting with frontage roads…at an angle. If it’s not bad enough, now you need to cross an even longer angled crosswalk and visibility to drivers is substantially reduced. The Ogden overpass would be better as a wider deck and park, turned into some sort of traffic circle of the same size as Detroit’s downtown campus martius, where the dimensions and turns are enough to slow down drivers and it’s not a nightmare to cross as a pedestrian like the kinds of circles you see in rural suburban areas…or too large like Logan square where people take the corners at high speeds.
