Besides, its not entirely clear the sight lines were the problem rather than speed.
Speed and sight lines are connected. For example on some cross streets, for the E-W traffic, a car legally waiting behind the stop line/crosswalk is hidden by a building until they're starting to cross. You have the same problem the opposite direction.T he big problem is the stop line is too far back on cross streets.
Take a single intersection. Add new corner bumpouts starting with bollards and replace with concrete. Move the sidewalk crossing into the bumpout and keep the bike lane where it is. This allows moving the stop line about a car length forward. A N-S vehicle will be over today's crosswalk and will be more visibile to bicyclists mainly but cars too.
It will improve the experience for pedestrians as well by putting their N-S crossing point at the parking lane where it should be.
It has a connected benefit that a big truck can't just pull up to the no parking portion of the corner and make things worse.
And the neighborhood gets to keep all their parking.
