It's true that there are marked crosswalks nearby, but the dangerous crossing is the one across Willow, a road that includes the eastbound onramp south of the Interstate. For example, walking up 60th to the northbound bus stop requires either crossing the dangerous, unmarked crossing with poor visibility or crossing 60th twice at the nearby marked crosswalks. In practice, few people will do this -- especially if they're rushing to catch a bus.
It's possible that marking the legal crosswalk across Willow would simply encourage more foot traffic on a corner that's so inherently dangerous that every crossing is a bad idea. But the fact is that this dangerous crosswalk is unmarked.
