Description

The two uncontrolled crosswalks on 22nd Street crossing Webster Street get a lot of pedestrian traffic but have terrible sight lines and are very dangerous. I see near misses here regularly.

Both of the standard crosswalks here should be upgraded to ladder crosswalks, and since this is a one-way street it would make sense to remove one or two of the parking spots on the NW side of the intersection and paint the curb red. Then maybe even replace the parking spots on the SE side of the intersection instead which seems to have a red curb for no reason.

Also, there are "pedestrian crossing" signs on the south side of the intersection, past the pedestrian crossing, but it seems that a more useful placement would be before the intersection.
