Traffic is definitely OK with a striped walkway here; the route will meet all of our minimum requirements as long as they provide wheel stops as shown on the plans. There are also a couple of existing doors along this frontage that swing out, they would require some pretty significant changes to be able to open if a standard sidewalk was installed along this frontage.

I think it's more likely than not that that this area will be torn up and rebuilt as part of the light rail extension starting in 5-7 years. Also a change of nonconforming use is a relatively weak nexus vs, e.g., improvements on the site. Here are the three choices for light rail alignments and stations. When you add construction staging and station access improvements to the direct property needs for alignments and stations (which will cover up two entire an entire block), there's a high likelihood that anything we build gets torn up soon.
