Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose.

Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes. My concern is crossing 3rd at Rose as a pedestrian. Is there any chance of a crosswalk there?
Thanks,
Hannah

Good morning,
Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already.
Thank you again for your uReport request.
Thanks,
Adrian

Please add a flashing light and signage at the crosswalk where the B-Line crosses Rogers to alert drivers to be prepared to stop for pedestrians. It's especially important because the sidewalk on the east side of Rogers is closed, so people entering or exiting the B-Line there need to cross from or to the west side of Rogers. (I.e., we can't walk on the east side and cross Rogers at the stop sign at 11th St.)

The intersection at tenth and the bypass has a very dangerous intersection for pedestrians and cyclist. On the north east corner the sidewalk does not have an accessible ramp up the curb unless pedestrians walk into oncoming traffic that often does not slow or yield to the pedestrian right of way. I have had many close calls at this intersection and now there is not a sign when crossing to the east. Please correct this before someone is kill or badly injured.

NE corner of 17th&dunn. My kids are into riddle humor so maybe you'll enjoy this one:
Q. What kind of licensed engineer puts a shared path to the right of a dedicated right turn lane where drivers don't even stop for a red light?
A. The kind that ignores the MUTCD.
Hahahahaha that's even funnier than the time my 4yo gave a long set up forthe punchline "buttcrack".
But in all seriousness, the SE corner doesn't have a sidewalk connection for east/west peds and there are no painted crosswalks either. The MUTCD, bro, bible or nah?

Could you please install a painted crosswalk at 3rd and E Grant? 3rd is very high traffic and as cars come around the corner heading west, it makes for a dangerous crossing for pedestrians who are given no right-of-way.

Many students cross 10th Street near John Hinkle Pl. to get to the #6 bus stop. Should a safety survey be conducted in this location?

Dangerous pedestrian crossing at Walnut and Grimes. I have almost been hit 3 times in the last 2 weeks by inattentive drives as I cross Walnut at Grimes (southern crosswalk) as I walk to the B-Line. Please consider improvements to the crosswalk so that pedestrians are more visible to drivers. Thanks.

On March 2, 2016, I submitted a question about the lack of painted crosswalks for pedestrians crossing 3rd Street at Jordan Avenue. I received a prompt reply from Matt Smethurst, saying that the intersection would be torn up soon for stormwater improvements, and the crosswalks would be completed after that. There was indeed work completed over the summer, and the curbs now look very nice, but almost a year after my original question, there are still no crosswalks painted in the street. Are they going to appear sometime?
