Other: Hi, as a cyclist, I find it awkward have any ability to signal my attention to cross the street East bound on W Allen St across S Walnut St. As it turns out, the signal button is on the North side of Allen, and if I stay in correct lane, there is no crossing button to activate. Is this the intended design? If I move over to the north side of the street, that places me in any oncoming traffic from cars turning on to Allen southbound from Walnut. Also, can you let me know if the bridge on Allen between Walnut and the BLine trail will ever be opened? It is an eye sore, and I’ve noticed the area continues to deteriorate, with increased vandalism to vehicles at the Auto Haven Autoparts. This is sad.

The button-activated flashing beacons are intended for use by those using the pedestrian crosswalk. There is not a way to activate the beacon from the street. You are welcome to use the crosswalk during your crossing if you prefer to activate the beacon, or you can wait for a gap in traffic and travel to the median refuge island. Additional improvements to this intersection are being considered during the ongoing College-Walnut corridor study.

The bridge is owned by the County and will not be repaired before 2027, based on our current understanding. I'll be reassigning the case to the Engineering Department for responses on the signal issue.
