In the short terms, the petitioners ask for seven shorter-term, temporary safety improvements:1. Implement a full pedestrian walk signal separate from bus timing at the intersection of Tower Street and Washington Street/Hyde Park Avenue, ensuring no buses are turning while pedestrians are crossing;2. Extend this pedestrian-only signal timing to the intersection of Arborway and Washington Street/Hyde Park Avenue – an intersection where cars and buses frequently disregard pedestrian crossing priority;3. Install curb extensions to improve visibility and “daylight” the intersection of Tower Street and Washington Street/Hyde Park Avenue;4. Install a stoplight at Weld Hill Street to provide an alternative pedestrian crossing route and reduce traffic funneling into the Tower Street intersection;5. Reevaluate bus routing, potentially redirecting some buses to turn at the Arborway intersection instead of Tower Street;6. Increase visibility around the bus exit at Tower Street by removing the landscaping / bushes obstructing the view of the intersection;7. Place temporary flex posts to delineate pedestrian spaces and traffic lanes more clearly.
