Staff has done a field investigation of this site. There are crosswalks with pedestrian signals across the western and northern leg of this intersection. There is an area to stand in the northwest quadrant to wait for the pedestrian signal to cross either Clark Ave or Oberlin Rd. Due to the construction the pedestrian access in this area is not ideal, however accommodations have been provided for pedestrians to continue to use the pedestrian signals at this intersection. Staff has witnessed pedestrians safely using these crosswalks and refuge on multiple occasions.
The City is in the process of also adding pedestrian signals on the eastern leg of the intersection. Once the location for the upgraded pedestrian heads has been worked out with the contractor in the northwest quadrant then the additional signal heads will be installed on the east side of the intersection.

"Staff has witnessed pedestrians safely using these crosswalks and refuge on multiple occasions." Staff must have been there very, very early in the morning.
Thanks for looking into this. I hope this issue can be resolved and the solutions implemented at other intersections where high-density development will take place. As long as there are loans being made, these developments will continue to rise. Doesn't mean we have to like it, but we do have to deal with it in a way that doesn't compromise safety.
