Description
I am writing to address the high risk intersection of Steuben St and Warren St. As a frequent pedestrian at this location, I'm concerned about the safety, and accessibility for the large number of pedestrians that move through this intersection daily. I believe the following issues should be addressed:
- Visibility is compromised by parked cars along Warren St, posing risks to pedestrians crossing the road.
- High-speed vehicular traffic on Warren St further endangers pedestrians. I regularly see vehicles traveling at excessive speed in an attempt to make the yellow light on Columbus.
Given the need to improve safety while having a minimal impact on through traffic, I would like to propose the following solutions:
- Implementation of a raised pedestrian crosswalk (speed table crosswalk) to slow down traffic and enhance pedestrian safety.
- Consideration of appropriate warning signals, or stop signs.
I urge you to prioritize this matter and take decisive steps to improve pedestrian safety at this critical intersection.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

There is another issue opened on this intersection requesting a multi-way Stop sign, which I believed has been legislated and will be installed. I am looking to see if this was already completed.
However, even if it is installed, I want to keep this open to see if it addresses the issues that have been listed below.

This is the other one: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/15495967
I will figure out where the legislation is at and if any other fixes are going to be included.
