Description
Mr. Gerstle is requesting pedestrian improvements at Webster/Eagle. I have copied and pasted his email below.
Hi Alan,
Regardless, could the crossing please be evaluated for pedestrian upgrades? APD has conducted a significant number of pedestrian stings at this intersection and written many tickets for crosswalk violations at this intersection. The crossing covers five lanes and has only the barest minimum of crosswalk markings. There are many apartments in the area. APD should have a record of how many tickets have been written at this location. I believe that there was a vehicle crash there within the past few days.
Demolition and construction is taking place at 1901 Webster street. City records show that Peet's Coffee and Tea have active permits. That will add additional vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic to the area. It is my understanding from a WABA board member that plans include a drive thru.
Best,
Steve

Peet's opening day is fast approaching. It is primarily going to be a drive thru and will change traffic conditions at this intersection.

What improvements are being made to protect health and safety? I cross Eagle at this location every day and this will bring a lot more traffic to Eagle west of Webster. The intersection is currently uncontrolled. The concern is not only crossing Webster, but also crossing Eagle as cars approach the drive thru. Have any traffic studies been done as to the effects of this new store and its impact on traffic and safety?
