Description
People walking down Spring St, crossing Washington st, often find themselves in dangerous situations because of all the car traffic turning off of Spring onto Washington and vice versa. Very often cars speed into their turns, so some traffic calming measures would increase pedestrian safety. Specifically something as simple as painting a standard crosswalk here would certainly help and be a step in the right direction.

Thank you for your concern. This issue has been received by our department. We will look into this issue and resolve it accordingly.
Note: Any new crosswalk typically needs approval by the Traffic Commission. If it happens to be an old crosswalk that was never repainted, then it is a maintenance effort. We'll look into this. Thank you.
