Description

The crosswalk that crosses Mass Ave near the intersection of Mass Ave and Day St is extremely dangerous- I live in the immediate vicinity and many times have had to wave my arms and yell at oncoming cars trying to get one to stop (often to no avail) even when I am with my toddler. Too many times cars just speed by. I have even had cars speed by me while I am IN the road on the crosswalk (in the street, not on the median or sidewalk).

Can this crosswalk PLEASE be enhanced to make it safer? Arlington has several crosswalks on Mass Ave where walkers can pick up orange "flags" from buckets at either side of the road to hold while crossing- perhaps something like this could help. Or a raised crosswalk or a flashing light, ANYTHING to reduce the chance of a pedestrian being harmed would be appreciated.
