Please fix the crosswalk button at this location. It doesn't seem like the traffic light crossing MLK at this location ever goes green, button or not. People group in a herd, impatiently pushing the buttons and waiting to cross while traffic whizzes by unimpeded. This makes crossing more dangerous as one must navigate past the speeding traffic and the mass of people who cross at once when the coast is clear.
I've brought this to the city's attention several times before but it seems the Streets Department does not monitor functionality of its devices.

one positive side effect of this light being out is that it's calming traffic on MLK. the cars never get a red light so hundreds of vehicles flow through at once. they never get the space to speed up to 65MPH.
the bad part is that you have to run/ride through a red light like frogger. the city will take heed when someone gets killed. it's the philly way.
