Is that going to be an open air lobby?
Sure it does, a watered down version for sure, but very similar.No, it doesn't.
See a scramble on 11th and 4th? I'm not sure there is a need for that. I could get behind one on 17th and 4th or 8th.I wish people knew how to use a scramble here. At Eau Claire you have pedestrians going on green but not walk, which defeats the purpose, and you have have drivers turning on red. Not that I 100% blame a pedestrian for crossing on green/no walk. You have to do that in some intersections.
I'm happy to see it's a new design. The old design wasn't bad, but it looked so many of the other towers u/c - Oliver, The Hate, Nude, 4th Street Lofts, Sunalta Towers.
I was going to say that as well (4th and 17th), instead, the city has now made that intersection even more unfriendly to pedestrians. Advanced turns for both lefts off 17th like a minute advance for the westbound, and then a minute for east.See a scramble on 11th and 4th? I'm not sure there is a need for that.

Those Eau Claire scrambles are poorly implemented. The lights are timed too long for vehicles and most of the movement is North/South. The addition of the scramble just makes the wait even longer, hence the crossing on green.
To be fair, it's probably a lot safer for pedestrians now. They've removed the rush for vehicles to turn against traffic and over the marked crossing. Now I'm fully on team scramble for that intersection.I was going to say that as well (4th and 17th), instead, the city has now made that intersection even more unfriendly to pedestrians.

We should have a pool going on guesses as to who the final developer will be, and another on what the final name will be lol.
