Description
Currently, there are no striped crosswalks on Shattuck between 51st & 55th streets. There is a large amount of pedestrian traffic crossing at 53rd & 54th streets but automobiles almost never stop for pedestrians. A pedestrian was recently hit by a car here and there have been many close calls. The city needs to add at least one additional striped crosswalk and pedestrian signage. The ideal location would be at the intersection of Shattuck & the 500 block of 54th Street as this seems to be the major crossing point for seniors going from the apartment complex on telegraph (driveways open to 53rd & 54th towards Shattuck) to the church on 54th daily.

I also endorse this crosswalk striping. The large Keller apartment complex on Telegraph has back gates that exit onto 53rd and 54th Streets just east of Shattuck. A large Eritrean population inhabits this apt. complex and will walk west to 54th and MLK where their church is located.
