Description
The intersection of Pine and Johnston is extremely dangerous: limited sight distance, cars racing to making lights, excessive traffic from the bridge closing, poor crossing marking. This intersection would benefit greatly from simple changes like crossing lights to warn drivers of crossing, better markings, and a speed bump on Pine. However in the long-term, JC should consider a slow streets design the changes the street from a straight un-obstructed street to a street with intentional obstructions to slow traffic at intersections (e.g., circular planter in the middle of the intersection).
As this neighborhood grows, so will pedestrian traffic and JC needs be proactive about pedestrian safety.
This is also a major bike route for local residents, and desperately needs protected bike lanes.

This issue is for all of the requests along Johnston between Communipaw Ave and Pacific Ave. This does not include the issue of the length of Pine Street being treated as a cut through (https://seeclickfix.com/issues/15921674), which will be addressed separately.
The entire length of Johnston Ave [from Phillip St to Grand St]will be completely redone this year. More information can be found here on Page 14: https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6189660/File/Community/Transportation/Engineering,%20Traffic%20&%20Transportation/2024%20Engineering%20CUPP.pdf
The entire road will be resurfaced and implement pedestrian safety street redesign, among other features.
