best I remember there is a traffic light at that intersection. can you not cross with the green light after traffic has cleared from Roanoke?

Technically, there is a pedestrian crossing light on the western corner crossing Forest Hill. However, it lights up at the same time as the left-turning traffic from Roanoke, and since that light is so short, the drivers turning left onto Forest Hill do not yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. There is also no sidewalk on that side of Roanoke, so you have to cross Roanoke to reach the light anyway. Things would be greatly improved if there were pedestrian crossing lights on both corners crossing Forest Hill and a dedicated time span just for pedestrians instead of trying to compete with the very impatient and/or uncaring traffic coming from Roanoke.

The solution would be to divert some of the traffic away from Forest Hill Avenue. This is a heavily residential area on both sides of the avenue and Forest Hill carries an enormous amount of traffic.
