Vernon Boulevard - Vernon Boulevard - Broadway

The intersection of Broadway, Vernon Blvd, Socrates Sculpture Park and Costco is an over-complicated mess. There are so many traffic lights and short, disjointed crosswalks that the simple process of crossing the street becomes long, multi-stage process. It seems like the primary goal of this intersection is shuttling cars in and out of Costco, rather than allowing safe public access to the waterfront. At the least, the tiny triangle between Broadway and Vernon and 11th should be merged with Broadway. That would make the intersection simpler and safer to cross.
