The redesign proposed by the Department of Transportation would have alleviated conditions that led to a galling 178 injuries between 2020-2024, making the street in the top 10 percent of most dangerous in the area. The plan provided for daylighting corners - a treatment that increases visibility in the crosswalk - as well as painted pedestrian islands (I would have preferred cement, but anything is better than what we have now). Travel lanes would have been narrowed, which is an effective way to lower speeds.
