Description

I work at YNHH and cross S. Frontage to the Air Rights Garage twice a day. Today was the second time in 2 weeks that I have come close to being hit by a car speeding through the red light while attempting to cross the street with the walk signal . Today, myself and another women, looked to the left after the light turned red and we had a walk signal.The cars in the center and left lanes we stopped. There were no cars in the right lane. At the same time we both stepped off the curb and a car came flying down in the right lane missing us by about a foot. I have also come close to being hit while crossing with the walk signal 1) by cars blocking the crosswalk/intersection (this is somewhat better since the hash marks were painted in the intersection) and 2) by cars turning right on red from York St. Multiple people have been hit and there have already been deaths at this intersection. Something needs to be done before there is another.
