Mike, Thanks for the news.

When it's rainy and/or snowy pedestrians probably have no problem crossing as traffic is at a standstill - 4-6 pm ,any minor fender bender on 95/91 backs it up all the way to here.. Snowy makes the Edwards street hill unpassable as City trucks are unable to navigate it to salt/ sand ,

"Yield to pedestrians" would be more appropriate than "Don't walk"

This MUST get fixed. I used to work at SOM and would have to cross the street on a regular basis, but with no crosswalks, no pedestrian signals, I was always risking getting injured or worse at this intersection. Additionally, with the food trucks at this intersection, it draws more and more people to this intersection making it even more of a problem during the lunch hours. I would think it's a liability for the city!

I agree this is a mess. When will the "planned" improvements be installed? It is unacceptable to wait for so many years for an improvement like this, without at least some other type of safety enhancement to tide things over in the meantime.

In the new design, will curb returns and crossing distances be reduced in order to improve safety?

The walk/don't walk lights have been installed.
