Thanks, Tom, for your inquiry.

Before ART each corner had a message painted on the street that said "Look
left" and invited one to cross there. Now those are gone.
During planning Transit personnel suggested we could still cross and the bus
lanes would provide refuge as the medians did before ART.
This is clearly perilous and probably illegal.

We have asked Councilor Pat Davis to help and he is near to obtaining a
High-intensity Activated CrosswalK (HAWK) of Central in the vicinity of
Tulane Dr.

One of our best ways of communicating with our community is through our
email list. We will get the word out on this and other initiatives as they
develop.

Hello. I am a homeowner in Nob Hill. i was wondering if the board has
discussed how dangerous it is to cross the street since the ART project has
been completed. I realize that there are designated crosswalks but I have
witnessed many people preferring to jaywalk rather than walk two blocks to
cross the street, then walk back another block or two to get to their
designation across the street. i have been guilty of this as well. Because
there is no median anymore to stand safely and wait for cars to pass, it is
extremely dangerous to cross. Anyway, just wondering if there has been any
discussion on this matter. Thank you. - Tom Kosbab
