What if every city that declared a #ClimateEmergency actually acted like it’s an emergency? What if every city that committed to #VisionZero actually acted like they meant it, prioritizing human lives in decision-making? What if every city’s budget actually reflect their approved plans & visions?

I drive through here pretty much every day and I drove up on this incident this morning. It appeared to occur exactly where the suggested raised mid-block crosswalk would be. Hundreds of people cross on foot at this exact location every day. Stand there for 5 minutes and the safety issue is obvious.

Wild to see this post as I scroll past numerous ones from @safestreetsindy.org showing cars parked in the bike lanes and reports of pedestrian/cyclist injuries and deaths. Our city's refusal to give one flying fuck about the danger of cars is maddening.

It should be more difficult to get a driver's license in Indiana. At the very least, you should know what a red light means.

"There have been pedestrians injured at this mid-block crossing location that I'm recommending, but no deaths have occurred since construction completed. A pedestrian death at this location is inevitable unless changes are made." jtdyer17.wixsite.com/my-site/post...
Reconfiguration of Southeastern just south of Rural. See the next image for detailed description of the changes.There is a grocery store in the massive parking lot at the bottom center of the image. All of the folks that live in the area on the top side of the image are taking the shortest path possible to the grocery and crossing mid-block where I have placed a raised crosswalk that doesn't currently exist.

At the Pleasant Run intersection, the crossings are too long. I've made an effort to shorten the crossing distance for all four crosswalks, with the Pleasant Run Trail crosswalk now becoming the most ideal crosswalk instead of the worst.

The Pleasant Run trail was a total afterthought in this project and the Community Justice Center project. I've given the trail a proper raised crossing and think it's time to properly reconnect it on the other side of the CJC campus (not shown). There is plenty of space and numerous options for reconnecting the trail.

For drivers, I've removed a lot of pavement that is confusing and unnecessary. I really encourage you to take a trip through this area and see all of the painted "infrastructure" (which will fade and make things more confusing). I'm recommending it all be hardened.

Drivers heading Northwest from the single travel lane on Southeastern will now be met by a single travel lane on the other side of the Pleasant Run intersection instead of two. This minor change discourages the drag race to the roundabout that currently occurs AND makes our mid-block pedestrian crossing MUCH safer.

Drivers heading Southeast on Southeastern from the roundabout will now be forced to merge into a single lane before choosing to continue straight, left, or right at the intersection. Another slight change, that discourages the drag race to the light AND makes our mid-block pedestrian crossing MUCH safer.

There have been pedestrians injured at this mid-block crossing location that I'm recommending, but no deaths have occurred since construction completed. A pedestrian death at this location is inevitable unless changes are made.
