Description
I've seen several people nearly get hit at this intersection. I'm guilty - I've nearly been hit as a pedestrian, and while driving I've almost hit a pedestrian. During winter, there's low light and it's easy to speed with the wide street cross-section here. Additional lighting, reflective striping, or a pedestrian flasher sign could greatly improve safety at this intersection. Could you please look into this? Thank you!
