Description
Most days, there are four or more large blue recycling bins in and lining the crosswalk at Spring St.and Witherspoon St. Thes bins, combined with the adjacent concrete block and street signs, make it very difficult for drivers going down the hill on Witherspoon St. to see pedestrians in the crosswalk. Pease address this safety issue by making sure the recycling bins are removed from the crosswalk and 1) not put back in the crosswalk and 2) not put put in a location that prevents drivers from seeing pedestrians.

As to the issue of the recycling bins, we will inform the business responsible that they cannot be located in the position they have been placed.
As for the crosswalk signage and designations, this is a construction project and the interim measures taken are not the final configuration. The contractor will be returning to work here on Monday, January 9 and will continue to have traffic control personnel at this location. Nonetheless, the current signage and warnings are in accordance with MUTCD. The Police Department has been monitoring this crossing and providing enforcement when necessary.
