The HAWK crossing on S Walnut St between Switchyard & the B Link has some serious safety issues due to drivers not stopping for the flashing red light. I have witnessed even BPD officers blow through this. If our own cops can't figure out how it's supposed to work, I have no confidence in regular drivers. I have nearly been hit at this intersection multiple times due to drivers either not stopping for the flashing red or blowing through the solid red entirely. This corridor is in the highest priority tier on the city's safe streets map so I am hoping Planning or Engineering can look at ways to improve this intersection. Even just increasing the solid red timer would help in the short term, but this HAWK crossing doesn't seem to work well in general compared to the ones on Country Club or the new one on the rail trail on S Rogers.

Regarding the work on the railroad bridge on north Adam street. This evening, a car came south through the construction area under the bridge. The driver got out and moved the barricade on the south end of the construction area just enough to pass and drove through headed south. Later, since that barrier was moved, a car went through that construction area headed north. It seems they are going under the bridge on the west side since there are supports under the east side, where the work is being done. I believe a third car drove into the constriction area then turned around before going under the bridge. These occurrences were between 9:25 pm and midnight.
