Description

Two Whalley Ave crosswalks need attention!

Whalley and Fitch, and Whalley and West Rock both need 1. Longer walk signals. 2. walk signal to come on more frequently 3. sign in crosswalk alerting to high pedestrian village environment.

The Fitch cross, and especially the the West Rock extremely dangerous. whalley is very wide here, cars are flying. At west rock fountain and whalley converge. in both directions, cars speed and fly through lights because they are frustrated by the slow down into Westville village and want to try to get through it or out of it. Tough -- the mid-cross pedestrian signage changes driving attitudes and we want them.

Cross walk signage, in middle of the cross walk will help alert drivers that this is a village and to cool it.

The walk signals take too long to wait for and end too quickly, so you start running.

SOMEONE DO SOMETHING SOON
