Mixed-gender shelters that aren't specifically for families with children are uncommon. Sometimes 'family' shelters won't let the man stay with the rest of the family.

That makes sense, thats what happens anyway. And the north side of K when you cross over to NE is really not great because of backed up westbound car traffic.

Would you consider them better used if they had standstill traffic like 4th street?

I live a block away from K st. in MVT, and cross it almost daily. I don't know what you're calling a mess, it doesn't seem any more or less a mess than the rest of the neighborhood. 4th southbound approaching 395 is way worse.
