Description
I jog almost every day around 3:30-4:00pm and i stand at this crosswalk to cross the road. Sometimes I have to wait for 5-10 cars to pass until I can cross. No one stops, and it is not dark out so they clearly see me standing there. They are just cutting through the neighborhood at 40+ mph to get to forest rd. Please set up a traffic cop here, if you need someone to be a pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk, I would be glad to!! There is no red light and the signs in the middle of the road clearly state you must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk yet no one does. Thanks for your help in this matter.

The crosswalk on Blake Street near the park that has the push button flashing lights works great. It would be nice to see that installed at other problem locations. As I understand it this was a low cost solution. I don't know if you need to go through a safe-street application or you can try to contact Jim Travers directly- there was an article about this signal in the Independent last year.
Also Sargent Forte has been doing a GREAT job since taking over as District Manager, I have seen traffic enforcement taking place around the area. You may want to contact her for support in attaining the walk signal. Email is best, she will respond.
