Changes at "New traffic lights and markings at Foster and Kostner"
Body

-["
The intersection at Foster and Kostner is dangerous. Vehicles often ignore the dim, timer-based traffic lights that date from the 1950's and are leaning as they rust from the bottom. A frequent flow of pedestrians, bicyclists, and strollers cross here to access the North Branch trail (LaBagh Woods) and Gompers Park. Possible improvements: (1) rather than timers, \"smart\" or \"intelligent\" sensor-based traffic signals that detect when vehicles are present, (2) high-visibility traffic signal heads, (3) move stop lines back to make more room for pedestrian crosswalks, (4) improved pavement markings, (5) new sidewalk access ramps for safer crossing for wheelchairs and strollers, (6) improved lighting as softball, baseball, and football games run late into the evening.
