Maybe making some modifications to a "pedestrian scramble" intersection and using those should be reconsidered.

I remember using these in downtown Toronto - they were fun and seemed to work pretty well.

They article suggested this -

>This is the site of heavy pedestrian activity at all hours of the day. If safety were at all the city’s top priority (rather than traffic volume and speed), they would have long ago implemented a solution such as a pedestrian scramble: a crossing phase in which people can enter the intersection on foot in all directions, and, at the same time, all motor vehicles have a mandatory stop.
