Recommendation : Install new high- visibility crosswalks. Remark existing crosswalk with high- visibility markings. Issue : There is long crossing distance and intersection distance given the proximities of these two streets and wide access for gas station. There is concern about lack of driver yielding. No pedestrian signal. Pedestrian signal not on auto recall. Recommendation : Install curb radius reduction on northside, may require modeling freight turning movements. Evaluate pedestrian crossing time. Implement LPI. Put pedestrian signal on auto recall. Issue : Sidewalks lack sufficient buffer. Sidewalks to the northeast of the intersection are narrow and feature not buffer. Buffer may not be feasible or be limited due to obstructions. Recommendation : Reconstruct sidewalk to wider or install buffer from roadway. Issue : Gas station on northeast side of these intersections features multiple wide access points. There multiple driveways increase potential conflict between motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians/bicyclists. Recommendation : Consolidate driveways and provide an accessible pedestrian route.
