Dumb Design in Salt Lake City

            As we discussed in the last classes of Green Communities one of the things that unfortunately is very present in our lives, in our homes and in our cities is the dumb design (whose name is self-explanatory).
            This subject has been discussed in class very interesting as well as all others, but this one in particular made me see things I always thought it would be normal and in fact are not, such as the teacher talked about the drive-thru of fast food, where to be able to use them we need a motor vehicle, which in hindsight not make any sense.
              I would like to quote this example that much bothered me in my early days in Salt Lake and still hinders when I go somewhere new where there is also this problem, which is the case with some trax stations where there is only one side with crosswalk.
              Often when I arrived in any station and was walking to the side that I needed to go and when I was coming down the platform I noticed that there was no crosswalk for me to cross the street safely, which was too bad because so I have to go back to the other side of the platform.
              Some of the platforms have crosswalks on both sides and it is very good and this would be the best way to address this issue of dumb design (also a good signage is always welcome), this is so simple to do that is so hard to believe that we have a problem like this in our city.
