Will a bright yellow pedestrian warning sign get drivers' attention? Photo by Wendi.We’ve heard neighbors complaining lately that it is sometimes difficult to cross Beacon Avenue South in front of Beacon Hill Station–cars just don’t see pedestrians, or just don’t stop for them. Sometime in the last week or so, the city added new signs to Beacon Avenue in an attempt to make this crosswalk safer, along with warning lights. With the opening of the light rail station, this crosswalk is even more heavily used than it was before, so this new signage has been needed.

The signs are a plus, but are we going to also get push buttons to activate the overhead lights at Lander and Beacon?
Awesome!
Now how bout some nice curb bulbs and a bus bulb at the stops there to widen the sidewalk, calm traffic, and improve bus flow? And what the heck, maybe a pedestrian island in the median there. A lot more could be done to improve the pedestrian experience around this station…
