Description
These two intersections have crosswalks that were just painted (thanks Oakland!). However, this is still not enough for drivers to notice that it is indeed a crosswalk. There is a senior building with entrances and exits on both 21st and 22nd and I have seen countless numbers of these people just miss being hit by cars at both of these intersections. Please put up a crosswalk sign and zebra stripes or reflectors on the street. This is a true safety matter!

According to the City of Oakland's own crosswalk design standards (available here http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/pwa/documents/report/oak025058.pdf) the uncontrolled (not at a stop sign/signal) crosswalks across Telegraph at 21st/22nd should have at least been painted with ladder-style markings, and advance yield markings on the pavement, instead of just repainting the standard, two-line crossings.
If Public Works does not go back to correct this error soon please feel free to call them directly, referencing the "Crosswalk Treatment Options Chart" document.
