Pedestrian Safety at Wabansia and Western
I’m proposing that we look into fortifying/ making more obvious the cross walks at wabansia and western. I cross here four times a day and daily see drivers run red lights (and not seconds after the red, but significantly after) or stop well into or past the cross walk. It appears in many of these cases that the drivers don’t notice the light.
i missed being hit while with my baby in her stroller by less than a foot by a driver who wasn’t paying attention to where the crosswalk was. And there could have been many other close calls if I hadn’t been watching the cats to make sure that they stop. You just have to walk defensively whenever you cross the road. It’s really dangerous.
it seems like adjusting the crosswalk location or painting larger and brighter warnings on the street could help a lot and may not be that costly.
This proposal is being evaluated
This is an intersection shared with 32nd Ward. This proposal could either be removed from PB, to be studied by the 1st ward with 32nd Ward office, or the 1st Ward could focus solely on the 1st Ward side of the intersection.
