As a pedestrian each day to work through the grid, I have to eventually pass both J and I streets, and I have to say, I dread the experience each and every time. I do believe, while they are effective a moving traffic quickly through the grid, they are awful at crossing at intersections without traffic lights. Traffic does speed much much faster than the posted speed limits, and does NOT stop for pedestrians waiting at crosswalks, so you have to dart in breaks of cars--and this is during the day. At night, I wonder if I'm going to make it across......

The solution? I'd say two way streets, but I'd really love for the city to squeeze in a true boulevard, two lanes in each direction with a median in the center (much like Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood).
