Description
We need a crosswalk painted at this intersection. It's a busy spot, and I have nearly been hit by a car several times as I try to cross the road. It's especially challenging when cars on Castle Moor Road turn right on Hesperus Drive, because they speed up to the intersection and can't really see the stop sign because of the foliage. Drivers don't expect a pedestrian, which is why it's very nerve-racking to try and cross the road here.

Those tree at that corner are not as problematic as other corners.
I agree a crosswalk is needed.
The corner of Durham road west and castle moor even with stop sign traveling towards Hesperus is more dangerous because of small tree on the corner and a bigger bush about 20 feet away.
It’s hard to see traffic coming from Beaverbrook to castle moor.

Agree! There are large shrubs that block view of cars coming down Durham Road West. It is difficult for drivers on Castle Moor to know when it's safe to move forward.
A crosswalk on Castle Moor at Hesperus Drive would connect two sidewalks at a very busy intersection, and would make it much safer for pedestrians.
