I see poor behaviour from drivers all the time, it's nothing new. If you feel that strongly about your safety, you could always dismount and cross at the crosswalk. That alone would eliminate most of your danger spots.
This "solution" is not reasonable for one of the major mixed use trails in the Region. And please, who doesn't feel strongly about their safety? This doesn't really suggest you have a real respect or understanding of the concerns.
Why is it not reasonable? Because it is an inconvenience? And living less than 100m from the trail and being a frequent user, I have a good grasp of the concerns thank you very much. My point is, the safe option already exists despite being inconvenient. You want to cross mid-block and save time? Then assume the risks.
