Description

This intersection is extremely dangerous to cross - especially when visibility is limited due to severe weather events - much like the snowstorm we witnessed in the past 24 hours. I tried crossing the street with my 3 year old at the light and crosswalk on Rawlins and Boston Street. The light is still just blinking yellow and not responding to buttons for pedestrians on either side. I had to literally stop traffic myself to get us safely across - as motorists assumed we would get our turn when the light turned red. However, the light never turned red, and we had to practically run through blinding snowfall that made me fear for our safety. What are you waiting for??? A child, disabled person or even a tourist to get hit and killed!? The city should be ashamed of itself for allowing this to go on for so long.
