Description
Cars speed down Newark Ave. and do not slow down at crosswalk at Sixth and Newark. Friend was almost struck. Two new buildings have been built at intersection and added more pedestrians and still lack of safety/traffic calming design.

Agreed that this intersection (Newark & 6th st & Division St) needs traffic calming and stronger protections for pedestrians / cyclists. There was a crash there yesterday (see attached pic of immediate aftermath) while kids were waiting for the bus a few yards away. It's a mess during rush hours twice daily, and cars go unsafe speeds at other times.
Thanks for looking into this!
