Descrizione
The crosswalk on New Scotland Ave at the intersection of New Scotland and Grove is extremely dangerous for pedestrians. A pedestrian triggered or activated light is needed, as the recent signs that have been installed are not working. Cars are continuously speeding through this intersection when pedestrians are crossing and I’m afraid that someone will be severely injured if hit by a speeding car. As a family with two children under the age of 5, we walk the neighborhood every day, including back and forth to New Scotland Elementary School and are concerned with the lack of a light at this intersection/crosswalk

R. The Yield to pedestrian crossing signs are not working. There needs to be a light here for the safety of the residents of the neighborhood.

There has been a sign in the middle of New Scotland previously and earlier this year, BUT YET AGAIN IT GOT HIT AND FLATTENED and Traffic Engineering NEVER replaced it this time. Traffic Engineering also said and promised that they were going to install a system similar to what is farther down New Scotland by C D P C garage 'bus stop' - the push button yellow flashing lights - but after the elected Ward Leader that that intersection is within stated that 'let's rebuild the sidewalks and replace the trees in that area' (which they do not need to have done!), Traffic Engineering 'decided' to wait until these unneeded changes get done, THEN put in the 'yellow flashing lights', yet in the mean time did not replace the street level sign, nor restriped the crosswalk, and probably won't until someone gets hit OR KILLED crossing at Grove Av.
The Helderberg Neighborhood Association is having a meeting WEDNESDAY at 7:00p at 1st Cong Church on Quail St at Maple Av (NOT at Sage College) so you should attend, bring your neighbors, and bring it up under 'old business'. The New Scotland / Woodlawn Neighborhood Association also meets at this location but not until early October.....

Would never happen... but I have seen in Williamstown MA on the surface of Rt 2 in the area of the College,, dug in so snowplows go over them, blinking lights at crosswalks that AUTOMATICLY START FLASHING when someone starts to cross the street!! No button pushing, no solar panels.
Related to the possible not needed construction, we don't need a wider sidewalk, causing a narrower street, we need less outdoor seating, and parking enforcement especially at the intersections and all the corners need 'no parking here to corner' signs and enforced with tickets!!

Remember this next time around when they run for their no-show jobs.

life long: one side parking was not being considered, it was just my opinion. The proposed construction project is expected to take 6" from each lane. This would, in my opinion make the street very tight with parking on both sides. I think that can be allieviated by eliminating parking on the residential side and substituting having bike lanes in both directions. I do see your point re: parking. However, if we did switch to one-way streets as someone else suggested, that would allow for more parking.
Thoughts?
