Description
With the quick walk signal (5 timed seconds), with cars turning right-on-red from Beacon to Washington and cars running the yellow, it is difficult to cross from E-to-W or W-to-E at the cross walk by the hospital. It's not unusual for older or handicapped to be caught in on-coming traffic.

Christopher,
Thanks for being persistent in the service of improving public safety.
The City's Traffic Engineer just told me that he believes the City checked this signal and determined that it is working as intended. I think there is a legitimate case to be made that 5 seconds (the time span he said the signal is set to say WALK) is inadequate in front of the hospital.
Motor vehicles should be running a red light there or anywhere else; that sounds like another problem that needs to be addressed.
The City is monitoring the SeeClickFix website and should have a way to let you know their response to reporting an issue; if they do not reply, you can only infer that no one in CIty Hall read your posting. I have contacted the Mayor's Customer Service person and expect that he will call me back to discuss this.
