Description
This intersection needs a crosswalk over Edwards Street- apparently one existed here up to about a decade or so ago, when the street was repaved.

Here's a photo from Google Street View. (click to enlarge).
I recommend that the city not repaint the centerline on Edwards Street. The double yellow line is unnecessary (and totally ineffective at preventing passing, anyway) and makes the street look like a major arterial...which it is not.
A crosswalk with an in-road pedestrian sign is a great idea.
If you live near here and want more substantial traffic calming, you might consider writing a grant proposal for a neck-down, a traffic circle, a pedestrian refuge island, or curb extensions.

agreed. i live here & it is a nightmare.
here's my scenario
i go to the WASHTUB on Foster to do my laundry
so i have to walk a block the wrong direction, to cross the street, then walk a block BACK.
all this to cross the street to go do my laundry
ridiculous when i live within site of the street the washtub is on
why isn't there a crosswalk there?
let's not worry about assigning blame (it's clear the city let us down on this one in the distant past) but let's hustle it up
it's cheap to paint a crosswalk,
and i'm personally willing to donate the funds

Though I didn't actually encounter them, I was glad to hear that folks were out at Lincoln/Trumbull (and elsewhere) to celebrate the re-installation of the in-road pedestrian signs now that spring (and what feels like summer) has finally arrived.
At least according to the Independent article about this, Transportation, Traffic, and Parking supposedly has funds for some additional signs. Any chance that this intersection could get one? I wouldn't want to take away from another potentially more dangerous spot that could use it more, but given the fairly high volume of pedestrians through here, I'd love to see an in-road sign.
