The idea
Add flashing walking signs at each crosswalk at "K circle." Currently, there are no safety measures at this dangerous/busy intersection for pedestrians. Do not wait until future development to address this issue!
Who it helps and why
Ensures all residents have a safe walking path to outdoor and recreation points. It's a key route to fields, beaches, and communities for both Dorchester and Southie residents.
