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.
