Description

Crosswalk is way too long. Always a conflict between pedestrians and cars. Cars traveling east on Newark Ave make the slight left onto First St. at full speed to avoid the light at Jersey Ave. I’ve seen too many close calls here, including with kids and people with strollers. Peds don’t know if cars are going to go in front or behind them. Why not shorten the crossing distance or make it a true right angle for the cars? No reason they should be turning into a crosswalk at 35+ MPH.
