Recommendation
This item was brought forward by Ald. Miller in response to an issue of pedestrians trying to cross E. Broadway at Pleasant Street. Residents have requested a painted crosswalk on E. Broadway at Pleasant Street. Engineering staff indicated that a painted crosswalk would not be very safe in this location being so close to an active railroad. The better solution is to communicate to the pedestrian to cross E. Broadway at the nearby traffic signal at N. East Avenue and to discourage crossing at Pleasant Street. The subject referral lists signing that would be needed to accomplish this. The Department of Public Works does not have any issues with the request.
