  Do you mean the crossing on the south side of the intersection, or the crossing of Grand? If it’s the south side then note that there is still a lot of work left to be done on that project, but the end result will be a much, much shorter crossing than what was there before, and certainly not longer. The SE corner will be extended significantly, with rain gardens included along the sidewalk.

  Here’s a rendering of what the finished product should look like, more or less.

  Referring to the crossing across Grand from Fairyland area to Park View Terrace. It was just changed today and is much longer - almost a diagonal- that's where the crosswalk signal pole/button was moved to as well. Just hoping they consider more time and the neighborhood usage there.

  Okay, thanks for the clarification. Here's an image of the new crosswalk alignment at Grand and Park View Terrace, also showing the old crosswalk alignment with faint lines on the left. The angle will indeed be changed, but due to the sidewalk extension the new crossing distance will be just a bit shorter. The original crossing distance was about 87 feet, and the new one looks to be something like 82 feet. Not a huge difference, but better.

  A separate project should be breaking ground soon to upgrade all of the non-signal controlled pedestrian crossings of Grand between there and Bellevue to the east with sidewalk extensions, high viz markings and beacons, so stay tuned for that work as well.
