Description
Pedestrians are at risk on 22nd ave at the PSTA terminal. You combined this with a prior crosswalk issue in a different location. The crosswalk in 4143166 is at the entrance to Tyron Square Mall on 22nd and 68th. The crosswalk is to get across 68th to the other part of the bus terminal, NOT to get across 22nd. Crossing 22nd is the problem and that is what is pictured. You can see there are no crosswalks in the picture or anywhere nearby.
There is no way I am going to try to report people for jaywalking. That won't work. There is no way this is a traffic calming type issue, it is a dangerous situation and some action is needed to coordinate a response from the City.
What I am suggesting is some signage to warn approaching traffic that there may be pedestrians in the roadway and possibly some yellow flashing lights. Is that too much to ask?

Great work, St. Pete! New pedestrian warning signs out there today, maybe yesterday too. They're in exactly the right place between the buses and the Burger King. That was fast and we just hope it will be enough and people will slow down and look for people crossing. Maybe we just prevented an accident.
I'm also happy because SeeClickFix helped bring attention to this issue. I know there are a lot of issues in the City and we can't fix them all, but at least we have a way to draw attention to problems. Thanks!
