We eventually got a reasonable solution at the western end with coned off cycle lanes (with the bollards being hit daily by drivers, better than a cyclist). The realignment of the centerline cones is an improvement. Local pressure resulted in the ped crossings in locations with limited demand (no crossing at the market though) which I personally had dozens of near misses on my daily commute. Banning parking on the eastern side would go a long way….
