Description
With decent weather returning, a couple of in-street pedestrian signs are needed back in this intersection to remind drivers that they must yield to pedestrians here. Drivers were getting pretty good when the signs were in place last spring, summer, and fall, but their behavior has changed noticeably--for the worse--once they were removed during the winter.

Agree, the signs should be replaced ASAP.
Please also refer to other open SCF "tickets" near this location by clicking "see nearby issues" just above the map here. Dozens of people, including some of our elected officials, have made suggestions for how to make this key pedestrian crossing more comfortable and less dangerous.
The current configuration of the street and speed and level of traffic is unacceptable. I see pedestrians almost get hit here on a regular basis.

Yes, I've seen those.
I've always wondered why our state legislators and lobbyists get the protection of signs year-round (as well as 10 MPH speed limits by the LOB), while the elderly, school kids, etc., in our neighborhoods aren't deemed worthy.

I saw that in-road pedestrian signs have been placed all around Southern Connecticut State University. I saw several there this past weekend.
What's taking these so long?
