Description
does not exist and need to be added on Lafayette street in several places. The street is too wide to only have crosswalks and no traffic signals. Children are going to school there and need to be able to cross the street at any time not just when the paid guard is helping them.

Slowing traffic down even more than it is now would be a really bad idea. The school on Lafayette has a crossing guard and that is enough. The kids should be instructed not to cross at the other crosswalks.
More traffic lights in this city are NEVER the solution.

Yes. Safety and pedestrians are the priority. That is why they are given the right of way at crosswalks. But people also need to take responsibility for themselves and not jaywalk. Also, vehicles need to stop stopping for people who are waiting to cross the street outside of designated crosswalks. It creates an unsafe situation for the pedestrian AND motorist.
Education is the key to reform, not more regulation.

I completely agree with you on the Rapid Flashing Signals pedestrian operated in conjunction with the crossing guard. The Crossing Guard is there only before the school starts and ends, but people walk there all the time. We want to be able to cross streets in the city without the risk of being killed. Children walk there all the time and even adults have a heard time crossing these streets because crosswalks are not well paved and cars, SUVs, and Trucks are just zooming in without ever looking.
Thank you for reviewing my suggestion.

Dear Mr. Giardi,
What is the status of this request? Is it just put on a backlog or there is some decision made?
Thank you for following up,
Inga
