Description
This intersection is a death waiting to happen! We have been asking for help for yrs but nothing has been done. This should be a school zone but there is no safe way to cross this road. We walk to school and have almost been hit numerous times. Cars race around the corners and cut each other off as the street shrinks from 2 - 1 lane heading up the hill. How it this ok next to 2 schools?! Central Montessori middle on 1 side and elementary on the other side. Shame on this city for not helping us

- Staff · September 5, 2025The DMV crash records for the latest five years data (1.1.21 – up to date) did not reveal any reported pedestrian crashes on Broad St at 21st St, Broad St at 20th St, 21st St and Marshall St / Jefferson Ave or at Marshall St and 20th St. School pavement messages and school crossing warning signs are on Broad St eastbound and westbound in this immediate area. A school crossing sign is on Marshall St eastbound before 21st St / Jefferson Ave. Another school crossing sign will be added upstream of this sign between Cedar St and 20th St. Another sign will be added on westbound Marshall west of the signal at Jefferson Ave / 21st St. The traffic signal at Broad St and 21st St has crosswalks and pedestrian signal indicators. The traffic signal at 21st St and Marshall St / Jefferson Ave has the same. A new signal is planned at Broad St and Cedar St / 19th St. The new signal will also have crosswalks and pedestrian signal indicators. I asked the City’s Signal Systems Engineer to review pedestrian walk and don’t walk timings at the two existing signals.
