Crossing Church Street on Wall in the northernmost crosswalk at this intersection is scary and dangerous. Cars making a left onto Church from Wall Street often fail to notice or pay attention to pedestrians crossing this wide street. A pedestrian signal with a 'headstart' of four to six seconds would greatly improve this situation. By 'headstart' I mean five seconds or so of a walk signal before the cars at Wall St get their green light. This gives peds the chance to establish their position in the crosswalk before cars can speed into it. This is a common practice in cities in the United States.
