That stretch of Columbus Ave was supposed to be part of the SW Expressway long ago. It's sad to see that it instead is basically still a six-lane highway masquerading as a city street. That intersection in particular is dangerous for all users.

.... love it.
It’s a public health hazard.

I'm so sorry for the loss of life. But it seems strange: there is almost no traffic at that corner at 5am. There is almost no traffic in most of the city at 5am. And that is not a major intersection.
