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.

Yes the City Absolutely cares about Everyone and their safety. The controller was hit by an Auto and is on order and as soon as we get it. The City will install it. This is a priority.
