There is a crosswalk from Rio to the Oakwood condos. Currently there is a Yield to Pedestians sign there. It is virtually useless and very misleading causing great danger. There must be a stop sign there, a real, full stop at all times sign.

I sent a note today to the city in response to their reply below. My fault for taking a while to reply to them. I asked how we proceed. I will update here as the conversation proceeds.
Very impressed they responded to me.

NJIT. I also know what a lane-gore is, so use all the technical terms you like.
The Yield only when a pedestrian is present signs teach the driver to ignore the sign most of the time and become accustomed to driving past it and eventually disregard it entirely. This is extremely dangerous to pedestrians. I'm not against all new models of traffic control, but this one is teaching drivers the wrong habits and endangering pedestrians.
