Description
On the corner of North Front Street and Washington Avenue and Grandma Brown Lane, the city or county removed a pedestrian crossing signal. This resulted in none of the crossing signals working at this very dangerous, busy street confluence.

Please be advised that this was not removed by the city or county. The signal was knocked down by an independent contractor plowing snow when he jumped the sidewalk. This has been tied up with insurance, but the parts were ordered some time ago by KPWD. We had tracked delivery of parts numerous times and were told that the pedestrian head would be here next week? We'll see? The pole was delieved but not the electronic head. Parts are coming out of Texas and are slow at best. As soon as they are delivered we will schedule installation.

This response is very timely, but the time to repair is too slow.
A suggestion to DPW: IF you have work in progress, please place a tag on the broken equipment saying "Work in Progress, DPW "and put a date on the tag.
If it's not done in 2 to 4 weeks, put another dated tag on it noting the delay. No reason DPW should get a black eye when they're on the ball.
If that were the case, the citizen could have seen that tag and noted that DPW was on the job. And that DPW knew there was some special delay.
There is a special effort going on, Complete Streets, (Cornell Cooperative) to encourage pedestrians. Broken pedestrian crossing works against this.
Keep up the good work

Thank you so much for noting that corner at Wash And Gma Brown: it has been out for at least 4 months. Actually, I can't recall when it WAS working.
Every crosswalk and light on the KIngston Corridor should be in perfect working order. Most are not.
