Description
This is the most dangerous intersection for Pedestrians especially when the light at JFK and St Paul’s is green. Cars speed up St Paul’s without any regard for pedestrians ignoring the pedestrian crossing and blinking signs. There needs to be a speed bump or a stop sign here before someone gets run over.

Jennifer, the issue is that we should NOT have the this much vehicular volume! We have become a truck route due to the city's refusal to add appropriate signage informing drivers that the truck route is Newark Ave. Our houses are from the 1900's and are developing cracks and the brick is turning to dust due to the amount of trucks allowed on our street. We have become a shortcut to the tunnel and other highways like 139 when in fact we are a residential road. Your response to Tim is really dismissive of the issues the residents of Saint Pauls have repeated voiced.
To say we can not have a stop sign feels like a double standard as they are all over down town on busy roads. I do understand the speed bump issue for emergency vehicles.
They never finished painting the curb extensions on saint pauls and liberty and it looks awful. now all the white poles are laying all over the ground. Please do not add any "solutions" that do not address the root of the issue and that no one will install correctly or maintain.
