i would beg to differ. i have lived here as long and traffic has just gotten worse. a few years ago they worked on the state street/grand ave bridge and re-routed buses. that made it all worse. plus work on highways re-routed cars to olive. i have almost been hit multiple times in the court street crosswalk. this is a wooster square initiation. (i cross this multiple times a day as i park in a lot at this corner.) yes, pedestrians are sometimes careless but cars speed down olive (and chapel) with disregard to people. i drive and walk and can be annoyed by bikers and walkers at times but, in this case, olive street is downright dangerous.

@Jon , the woman who was killed by a speeding possible texting driver was NOT jaywalking or drifting about in the street.

My point is that she was not using the crosswalk

It may be helpful to have one foot about 6-10 inches into the crosswalk to signal motorists that you want to cross because another problem in the middle of this block is visibility.

@Jon , did you witness the accident ? If so please contact authorities..I was going by both initial reports from witnesses and the location of belonging's of the victim via a newspaper photo.
All cars should slow down , no excuse for long time residents and / or employees about town.

I cross Olive street twice a day everyday for over a decade--I have no reason to lie. Pedestrians often feel that they rule the roads sometimes with an aura of elitism, I see a fair share of self-centeredness in my fellow neighbors. Almost half right off the bat do not use the painted walkway on Court street. I feel like Ralph Nader trying to get people to see the light when he proves the EQUAL corruption of our Country's two political parties.

Jon-

Your comment about pedestrians needing to have"one foot 6 to ten inches into the crosswalk" while discussing the Olive Street fatality is tantamount to blaming the victim.

Jon, you most certainly did not witness the accident. The victim was crossing from
the even side of Olive St, opposite the driver's side, providing the driver with an ample view. Try driving at 25 mph, it's not a speed to cause a fatality, especially if you are not driving while distracted.
