Safer crosswalks at Flora and Walter Streets
Resident asks for improvements to crosswalks near the Arboretum at Flora and Walter Streets, where cars ignore crossings and many people, including schoolchildren, cross.
English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Multiple crosswalks here need attention! People cross all times of day (commuting, fitness, enjoying the greenspace) and young school kids too. Flora is a major cut-through and cars ignore the crosswalks here and at Walter St making it very dangerous
Who it helps and why
Faulkner Hospital and Hebrew Rehab are both adjacent to this corner of the Arboretum and many people cut through to/from Forest Hills. Whether walking for need or want, all who do are put at risk when crossing here.
