- Staff · February 19, 2026A ladder bar crosswalk exists on Arthur Ashe Blvd/Blanton Ave/Grant St. Pedestrian crossing warning signs are also present southbound and upstream of the crossing. Measures such as electronic push button alerts are capital improvements and not in the adopted FY26 City Budget.
