Shade awnings at street corners
Resident asks for awnings or shade structures at intersections where pedestrians face long waits for the walk signal, to protect them from the elements.
English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Install awnings or other shade-providing structures at street corners to protect pedestrians from the elements as they wait to cross the street.
Who it helps and why
Despite being a dense area, intersections such as this one are optimized for cars, so there is a long wait time for the walk sign. In absence of a complete redesign of this intersection, providing shade for pedestrians waiting for the walk sign would improve their health outcomes in the meantime.
