Description
There are two crosswalks on 144th fairly close together. They are across the street from SHAG Tukwila Village Buildings D & E. Also, Riverton Heights Apts. The one by Bldg D has flashing yellow lights and a loud recorded voice saying "Cauton, flashing yellow lights". The crosswalk by E Bldg and Riverton Heights has NO lights, etc and people almost get hit umpteen times a day!! Motorists are trying to catch a long light and don't even notice that crosswalk! People for the most part using the crosswalk with nothing are mostly Seniors on walkers, wheelchairs or are handicapped in some way. Someone is going to get run over there any day now. That crosswalk is dangerous for everyone using it. We DESPERTLY need higher visability at this crosswalk with the flashing yellow light and voice like the one not far from it. If you are waiting to cross the street cars just ignore you and drive right through the crosswalk. Please help before someone gets runover!!!!!

This issue is being worked on. Installing new traffic control devices takes time to process, design, approve, procure and install. I'm sorry if it seemed like you were not being heard but we do not use this app as a blog or conversation forum. Please feel free to contact me for more information at 206-431-2193 or stop by the 6300 Southcenter Blvd suite 100 and I can catch you up. Look forward to furthering the conversation. Thank-you.

I haven't forgotten about you but the RRFB is not gaining momentum. Still working through it and options. The design engineers considered this issue during construction and presumed that pedestrians had the option to use either crossing and they were close together. More to follow.
