Description

Every time I try to cross Pine Street going to or from the Birchcliff neighborhood, I feel like I'm playing the 80s arcade game Frogger. There's often no safe way to cross without walking down to Champlain Elementary or up to the Lakeside Ave intersection, which is problematic when I'm with family who have mobility challenges. Birchcliff Pkwy is the only readily accessible east-west route joining Shelburne Road and Pine Street between Locust St and Flynn Ave, so it's a logical place to put a connecting pedestrian facility.

Drivers don't pay attention to basic crosswalks; I'd like to see a rapid-flashing beacon like those mounted farther north on Pine. Thanks!
