Description

Over the past weekend, I drove by this crosswalk on two separate occasions, and each time I witness a child almost getting hit by a car failing to yield at the crosswalk. The first time, the parent literally had to grab her child's bike and pull her back onto the sidewalk to avoid being hit by a car that was not stopping. Today, I tried using the crosswalk and waited patiently as a dozen car drove by. I literally had to walk out into the street for cars to stop. The lack of signage and fading paint on the crosswalk itself makes this an extremely dangerous spot to cross, particularly at night. I feel like this spot should have a button and flashing lights that have become popular throughout the city.
