I work with Councilmember Gallo in District 5 and met with a constituent living on MacArthur Blvd at Randolph. She shared that the pedestrian crosswalk is hazardous as buses and numerous cars exceed the speed limit and often do not stop for pedestrians. I observed that the crosswalk is faded and this intersection is located near bus stops and is heavily used. Can a flashing signal be installed as on Park Blvd near East 38th Street, can the crosswalk lines be painted over, what are other options for this community? Thank you.

I live near the corner of Lakeside and Madison Streets. That complex intersection is on the corner of a senior residence and apartment buildings. The corner is unlit. A few months ago one of our residents and her friend were hit by a car standing on the sidewalk near the Terrace Room. Her dog was killed. The driver turned left on Lakeside onto Madison and ran over the wide appeared sidewalk hitting them.. This occurred at night and the corner was quite dark. I believe this is a dangerous intersection and it gets a lot of foot traffic. It should be well lit at night. I hope you will consider adding lighting to this corner as part of your improvement program at Lake Merritt.

When traffic from Glen Park Road gets green light, almost all traffic turns right or left. Very little traffic crosses Park Blvd through to Hampel.

This results in right turning traffic going through the crosswalk crossing Park Blvd to the right of the traffic.

This happens at the same time pedestrians get a walk sign.

Thus cars are directed at crossing pedestrians.

Pedestrians should have a walk sign without traffic.
