The bike path is going to run at street level and cross Central, Sycamore, School, Medford and Walnut Streets at grade, because otherwise they'd have to widen the cut even further and rebuild four more bridges. East of Walnut St the ROW widens enough that it can run alongside the tracks and under the bridges.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but are there any plans for traffic calming at any of these at-grade crossings? Central Street in particular concerns me, as cars travel at speed downhill in both directions. And it basically becomes a lake during rainstorms at the point of the path junction. Would they consider a raised intersection here, or would that piss off the thru-traffickers there? In my anecdotal experience, flashing signs and bollards are very ineffective at any of the ped crossings between Vernon and Willoughby.
