- Staff · October 25, 2023In reading the “comments” part of the RVA311 request, a new crosswalk is wanted on Hamilton St in the vicinity of Mastin Lane. Gaps in traffic for pedestrians to safely cross is a key issue. 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 is not planned for Hamilton and Mastin. Therefore, the City has no plans for a marked crosswalk on Hamilton at Mastin. Crosswalks and pedestrian indicators are located at Broad and Hamilton for pedestrians to safely cross the street.
