Description

This is a continuation of the issue located here: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/1011390

I posted a follow-up question to Erik Eby on May 13, but received no response. I'm not sure if "leave this issue acknowledged" precludes further responses to it, which is why I"m re-starting it here.

Just wondering if any action has been taken to install ped-x-ing sings either mid-road or on the side.

A good majority of traffic will not stop, even when people have one foot in the crosswalk. I've had to let many cars pass before either there are no more or someone decides to stop.

It is the same situation one block up at the intersection of Aiken and Hall Rd.

I know that in Lowell pedestrians, knowing they have the right of way, will risk walking into oncoming traffic. That's kind of foolish, as is motorists not stopping (with enough notice) for a pedestrian in a crosswalk). However, which one is more likely to get injured?

Fall semester kicks in in a little over a month. Anything that be done prior to that?
