Description
This address needs a crosswalk to make crossing the street safer. There is a sidewalk in the median but there is no painted crosswalk across the lanes. Traffic is too fast and there is nowhere around here to cross Westover Hills Boulevard. A crosswalk would make this residential area safer and more navigable to people walking or taking public transportation.

- Staff · February 5, 2024Gaps 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 pedestrian signals where warranted to improve crossing safety for pedestrians. A pedestrian signal is a capital expense and not currently planned in the area of Westover Hills Blvd and Crutchfield St therefore crosswalks are not planned.
