Whoa-they tried to set up a system with battery powered buses???!!!

I agree the center island should work. As it is now where some people walk on the side walk that they’ve been let out others just free for all across the street. With the center island I image more of a mad rush across the street like a crowd going to a Black Friday sale as the doors open.
Yes electric. $120,000,000 so far and it’s still not running.
Looking back at picture and the topic name I probably could’ve picked a better shot. Closer to the city center it gets worse. A row of parked cars, a row of moving traffic -shared with the current busses- and then a completely empty
Lane of (BUSSES ONLY).
I avoid it as much as possible, as do a lot of people, which is exactly opposite of what the city wanted. It’s all good times for those that have no choice. Ie the people on bikes trying to get from point A to B sharing a space with swinging doors, angry drivers an departing bus passengers.
