I think the single central crosswalk will be helpful because the traffic through there has been stop and go at each crossing point, disrupting the flow as a couple people cross at each point. It doesn't take much longer for a group of 6 to cross all at once vs 2. This will keep the people in sync. The caveat is, will people go to the crosswalk or jaywalk?
As SAMIAM points out, it would be helpful to have the crosswalk somewhat synced with the traffic light.
I was happy to see that 25E coming from Hannafords will retain the two left turn lanes. I was anticipating worse backups than in the past with just one turn lane. Instead of a simple disastrous backup on some summer weekends, it would be a mega colossal disastrous backup. Whew!
