There are no wheelchair ramps onto the sidewalk going north on Park St from the hospital on either side of the road. Currently, people have to roll against traffic on Park until they get to the existing inclines.
The corner of North Frontage Rd. and Park St. has no walk lights. I was leaving Smilow on Wednesday to walk back downtown at the beginning of rush hour and I met a older man in a wheelchair having difficulty trying to cross the sea of traffic here because he was low to the ground and drivers turning right on red where unlikely to see him, and the ones who did where unwilling to give him a chance to cross. So I stopped traffic and walked across with him. Is there a plan to install walk-lights here? As a patient at Smilow, I'd like to have a safe route to the hospital, too.
The sidewalks at this location are slated for ramp developement as part of one of the signal projects to update existing traffic signals. The project is expected to last through next summer.
