Description
With the ongoing construction in the area, it's especially important for safety for the pedestrian signals at the intersections of College and South Frontage, and College and North Frontage, to function properly.
The pedestrian signals at the SW and SE corners of College and South Frontage are broken - their "push to cross" buttons do not work when pressed. This forces many pedestrians to simply run across the intersection while dodging cars. Please fix the "push to cross" buttons.
The "push to cross" buttons are also broken on all 3 pedestrian signals at the intersection of College and North Frontage (NW, NE, and SE corners). Those 3 signals currently operate "automatically," i.e., allowing pedestrians to cross North Frontage when cars are stopped there, and allowing pedestrians to cross College Street when cars are stopped there. However, even then, the signals are "out of sync": The pedestrian signals turn "red" long before the corresponding traffic light changes color. Please fix the "push to cross" buttons, and/or make it so the pedestrian signals are "in sync" with the traffic lights. Thanks!

The push buttons at S. Frontage & College will be inspected.
At North Frontage and College - the push buttons are not broken. The signalization at this intersection is being reconfigured. The current setup is designed to temporarily allow the ped signals to operate concurrent with the flow of vehicular traffic.

Thanks for the response and acknowledgement! Two quick follow-up points:
1) As of earlier this afternoon (Monday, June 3rd) the third push button (NE corner) at S. Frontage & College is also broken. It's been a bit temperamental for months now - some days it'll work, other days it doesn't.
2) Re: N. Frontage & College: Thanks for the explanation. Is it possible to adjust the College St. ped signal to stay on "walk" for longer? i.e., the ped signal for crossing College St. changes to "stop" a full minute or two minutes before the corresponding traffic light (on N. Frontage) turns yellow.
Many thanks again.
