Issues and Recommendations
Issue : Curb ramps are not aligned with crossing. North side curb ramps are not aligned with crosswalk. There is only one ramp provided to cross to the south. East side ramp is missing and there is a right only lane that makes it difficult to cross. Recommendation : Widen crosswalk or assess curb ramps for improved alignment. Construct new curb ramps. Issue : There is concern about drivers yielding. Pedestrian signal activates at same time as left turn vehicles (from Hemphill St onto Pennsylvania Ave). Recommendation : Implement LPI. Install curb extensions to delineate on -street parking and provide more waiting space for pedestrians. Issue : Sidewalk on northeast corner is narrow due to building face and mast arms and pedestal pole in middle of sidewalk. Recommendation : Widen sidewalk and relocate obstructions.
