Description
The crosswalk on Cleveland Ave. and Ashland Ave. REALLY needs flashing pedestrian crosswalk signs. Cars rarely stop for students and neighbors trying to cross the street. Many of us have almost been hit.
Once a car in one lane stopped for me and at least 4 cars in the other lane continued to drive through the crosswalk. I was in the road obviously starting to cross, finally she had to lay her horn down to get the other cars attention. It was really nice of her to help me out, but I think this could easily be fixed and much safer if a flashing sign was installed.

Thank you.

There is a marked crosswalk on the north side of Ashland Ave. at a T intersection with Cleveland. This is the preferred crossing location for this intersection and yes it is an
intersection.
Vehicles should be stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk by Mn State Law.
Cleveland is a Ramsey County route. Flashers will NOT be installed at this location at this time.
The City has a program to help educate drivers and pedestrians about ped safety called Stop for Me. Please contact Jeremy Ellison at 651-266-5457 or 351-368-4561 if
you would like to set up a Stop for Me event here next spring.
Thanks.
