Description
The west side of quadrille at Hibiscus is very dark. Drivers don't have good visibility. We almost got hit when a group of us were crossing hibiscus northbound with the right of way.
We need better street lighting here. It would also help to connect cityplace and the periphery. Jane Jacobs might have called these areas "border vacuums."
Also--- pedestrians shouldn't have to ask for a "walk" crossing signal. This should be automatic. At this intersection it's necessary to press a button or else you don't get a walk signal. Can engineering reprogram them?

Is that what the construction along Quadrille is?

This applies to all the non-signalized crosswalks along Quadrille. Even with the Quadrille Enhancement Project, no one even begins to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks (as legally required). I usually spend about 1 - 2 minutes trying to step out to cross, and have to turn around and run back to the curb until someone finally stops......
Having also driven this road, I think it's both a mix of uninformed drivers and speed/width. The road feels like a freeway, so people don't expect pedestrians, and go too fast to stop in time if they do happen to be looking. Can we temporarily shut down a lane like Delray Beach is doing to their stretch of US1?
WPB: Can we get a ACTion! ticket about this?
Thanks!

The county fixed the timing on this light, and we're getting countdown pedestrian signals within a couple weeks! YAY!
If only the City of WPB were this serious about implementing the Speck study..
