Description
I don't see where to request a pedestrian crosswalk, but a crosswalk (s) needs to be installed on staples mill road. Between Broad St and Monument Ave I dont see any crosswalks and since its a four lane road the vehicles usually travel at a very high rate of speed well above the posted speed limit.

- Staff · January 24, 2024Gaps in traffic for pedestrians to safely cross is a key issue especially on multi-lane streets. Marked crosswalks alone are insufficient, since pedestrian crash risk may be increased by only providing a marked crosswalk. We must consider using other treatments, such as traffic signals with pedestrian signals where warranted to improve crossing safety for pedestrians. A traffic signal is a capital expense and not planned. Therefore, the City has no current plans to mark a crosswalk on Staples Mill Rd at Augusta Ave.
