Description
the beg buttons at Beaumont and Excelsior force pedestrians to use their fingers, when we have COVID 19.
Note that the crossing button has a protective metal rim, so that only a finger can activate the button. shoulder cannot work.
this encourages the spread of COVID 19, and is also an ADA violation.
disabled people cannot use this button.
Please make crossing activated automatically, without the need of pushing the button.
Also, the button doesn't work

If traffic engineers are telling you that changing push buttons to recall mode is too much of an effort, point them to @blinetransport: "Personnel reprogrammed more than 300 pedestrian buttons at 55 signals town-wide between Monday afternoon & Wednesday."
