Here's an image of the intersection:

Looking west along Harrison Blvd at 14th St. in Corvallis Oregon. The far side of the intersection has a painted crosswalk. Two wheelchair access ramps are at each corner. A buffered bike lane is continuous, on the right side of the street. Privately owned structures of sheet metal (with wheels) are stored on both sides of Harrison Blvd. and on the intersecting street (14th). Image was copied from Google Street View.

We took a night time festive ride through Corvallis on 12/12. I hear that one OSU departmental party stopped solid and watched us out the window as we cruised by on the new Washington Way cycle track.
