You probably know better than I that there are touchless, software-integrated pedestrian sensors on the market. When do you think we might have our first test application here in Burlington? How about Main and Church as a great spot to showcase this technology that can improve both pedestrian safety and efficient crossings?
"Pedestrians often do not activate the Walk signal because they believe the button already has been pressed, do not think it is working, or cannot access the button." (For more info and the entire report from which the above quote appeared, I beg you to read the 2001 Federal Highway Administration report at this link:

"Pressing a simple button for a walk signal does two things..."
A THIRD thing buttons (fomites) do is efficiently transfer pathogens between people (susceptibles).
