Description
A pedestrian is going to get hit at this location. Signage is needed and road marking ASAP. Cars do not stop and cannot see crosswalk. See initial request below made 9 days ago and ignored by DPW. If we can afford $20,000 worth of unneeded signage in the ward councilors neighborhood then we can afford to make this crossing safe for people needing to get to park!
The crosswalk at this location has no signage and is virtually invisible to drivers with all the construction on the road. This crosswalk is at a park with many families with children needing to cross from Clifton to the park. In many instances car simply do not stop for pedestrians. With all the signage in recent years in ward three, in much less busy areas, this area at a park seems to have been overlooked by our city leaders. If the DPW could repaint the crosswalk ASAP that would at least help drivers identify it as a crosswalk while city leaders look at funding for needed signage.

Hi , And thank you for your request at this time there is construction on Highland at this area. If you would like to call me I can discuss with you maybe some temporary fix until the road is paved and new crosswalks will then be installed
Thanks
