This intersection has no pedestrian walk signal

Baldwin Ave at Hopkins Ave sees near constant parking in the crosswalk and on sidewalks. We need curb extensions and bollards to keep drivers from blocking pedestrian right of way and sightlines.

I have been almost hit by two different vehicles (and then verbally assaulted by the drivers) while walking along summit and crossing bowers with a walk signal (east side of the intersection). The drivers clearly believe they have the right of way at this intersection despite the walk signal. Can you install a Yield to Pedestrians sign or make the pedestrian right of way more obvious?

Corner of Palisade Ave and Jefferson Ave is busy. Drivers don’t stop for pedestrians at cross-walk. Can we get a blinking pedestrian crossing sign?

With the new stop signs on Congress St, North St by Washington Park has become the main thoroughfare for traffic and no one stops for pedestrians. This can be especially unsafe crossing into the park which many people do. Requesting stop signs along North st intersections to alleviate this concern and ideally shuffle traffic back to Congress st.

Can the city remove the turning lane here and widen the sidewalks and add parking? It is impossible to safely use a sidewalk on this street because it is so narrow and lots of cars are parked on the sidewalk. everyone is always complaining about parking. get rid of the turning lane. It’s dangerous for pedestrians anyway. I noticed this frequently on Journal Square that the sidewalks are super narrow and there’s a turning lane. It seems like we are prioritizing cars over the safety of pedestrians in this entire ward. Sidewalks aren't wide enough for two people to pass each other without one walking into the street.

We are a school and are a heavy traffic area due to Newport mall, another school, and the Holland tunnel. Cars are constantly flying down the street almost hitting students. We currently do not have any bike lane, school zone signal, or slow down sign. We are concerned for our student's and community safety and would like help in solving this issue.

This intersection is especially dangerous in both directions for multiple reasons. We've come dangerously close to hitting pedestrians and being sideswiped by other drivers on numerous occasions. The pedestrian crossing from the mall to the PATH is on a diagonal, meaning that pedestrians cross along a very long area but with little respite in the median due to the large exhaust tower and tall grasses in the way; they're often walking along the curb or running out quickly in front of drivers since they have nowhere else to go. What's more is that there are cars stopping suddenly on both sides of the street to pickup/drop off passengers. Finally, the exhaust tower and grasses are super dangerous for driver sight lines when driving south, and for pedestrians attempting to cross from the median toward the mall. I go through this intersection very slowly and still have to frequently slam on my brakes or veer quickly into the other lane.

Left Turn signals at 6th and Marin are needed. A busy intersection, coupled with multiple lanes turning, a little league field with pedestrians always crossing, and an impossible turn. This is needed and a no brainer.

Hi, there are a number of outstanding requests for fixing these barrels. After the barrels are fixed, there is usually more barrel damage within a week. The conditions that lead to cars hitting barrels may indicate an issue with safety at this intersection - for pedestrians, and motorists.

This crosswalk was installed to replace the pitiful temporary crosswalk about 40 feet east, which has been removed.
See Issue ID: 11865134
There is absolutely no signage to warn approaching drivers.
At Pavonia & Homestead there is a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installation that pedestrians can actuate when they want to cross Pavonia Ave.
There are two signals, one at each end of the crosswalk, which have yellow LED lights to warn oncoming vehicles. A button is mounted on each pole below the beacons and signs.
Both sides normally flash when either button is pressed.
RRFBs and signage should be installed at this new crosswalk.
