Corner of Pearl Street and Haynes Street, downtown Hartford. A good location to install a marked, mid-block crosswalk. Pedestrian ramps already exist on the north side of Pearl Street. Many existing businesses and landmarks are here, including an art gallery, wine bar, a theater, as well as office towers and apartment buildings, all of which generate much pedestrian traffic. This, plus the soon-to-be reopened Goodwin Hotel and its street-level storefront and retail space make a good case for elevating pedestrian access and safety here. An example of what could be can be found just one block north, at Haynes Street and Asylum Street.
