While I don't live in Ward 2 I do walk & drive there frequently. I will retract one of my previous posts as well, on another thread people were concerned about the lack of a crosswalk on the south side of James South & Charlton. Since then I have walked that section & paid more attention to the layout of the intersection. I suspect the lack of a crosswalk is a leftover from when James was one way, now I see no reason for the lack of a crosswalk & think it should be simple to install a walk- don't walk light at that point. Probably more hazardous is the left turn lanes from James South to St. Joseph's drive. Traffic coming off Herkimer & going south on James tend to treat the turn like it is a banked turn on a race track. The lack of lane markings makes it worse & my wife did see an accident there last week with 2 cars going east trying to make the turn. I would suggest either putting an island part way up St. Joseph's drive or at least paint clear lane markings on the road. That is also a very interesting place to cross on foot.
