Description
When crossing Tilden to get to the Marketplace entrance on Buena Vista there is no safe crossing across Buena Vista until you get to Park Street. Since there's no southern crosswalk across Tilden on Buena Vista there is literally no way to avoid this. Why do I have to walk 100 feet out of my way when there could easily be a cross walk at either Buena Vista and Tilden or Buena Vista and Everett? I find myself often running across the street dodging traffic instead which is not safe. I see a number of other people doing this as well.
