That slip lane and the intersection past it has me taking a different route most of the time.
Left at Marginal plaza sw, then crossing W Marginal Way SW at the new crosswalk.
It’s not amazing, but better viz.
A little work to improve access to the cross walk and it could be a good bike route.

I'll say the first time I was playing with GIS data, I was processing GeoTIFFs to build 3D models and the lon,lat order made perfect sense. X is left/right,east/west; Y up/down,north/south.
I picture two lineages that led to GeoJSON and Leaflet meeting, one from data, one from human language.

It's a whole thing. In my case, geoJSON is lon,lat. Most file formats are but it slipped my mind.
