I suppose there’s no chance this would ever trigger some sort of fix, or at least some sort of plan, for the intersection of 11th/Ankeny/Sandy.

I had never seen that post, but I had actually been thinking to myself lately, “these two intersections could use a roundabout”.
Roundabouts are great. We need to catch up to Bend in putting more of them in.
The city almost always requires the reconstruction of adjacent sidewalks, but I think making the developer of a single building pay for the reconstruction of an intersection would run into Dolan v. Tigard proportionality issues.
The city does a little of that, depending on the size of the development. The developer at 4975 Division, for instance, is being required to pay for a partial rebuild of the signal at that corner. Often curb extensions at corners adjacent to a site are required by PBOT. But usually not four or 6 sides of an intersection.
I certainly hope it triggers some tweaking. Most of the intersection of 12th/Sandy/Burnside is all right, but the west side of 12th Ave. doesn’t have a proper crossing over Sandy to the bus stop. Once this building is put up (and it’s about damn time something went up there), there will be more foot traffic in the area. The lack of a crossing on the west side of 12th avenue will be a glaring omission considering every other part of the intersection is properly linked. We shall see, and I hope it works. A similar problem is already in place on the Belmont/Morrison couplet in SE around 9th avenue. There bus stop is there, and tons of new housing is going up, yet crossing Belmont or Morrison is rather treacherous compared to crossing at the lights (and even then can be uncomfortable, especially as Morrison is massively over-engineered between 12th and the river). Here’s to hoping that new housing will prompt pedestrian improvements!
Wedge shaped sites are a serious design challenge. Not saying that the one pictured is the best possible solution, but I’ve definitely seen worse: http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_0666-600×450-400×300.jpg
