Addressing pedestrian safety concerns at the 5th and Kirkham intersection, focusing on compliance with STOP signs, travel speeds on adjacent streets, and traffic flow adjustments due to nearby reconfigurations. Proposals include visible STOP striping, shorter crosswalks, and traffic calming measures. Current proposals involve curb extensions and median modifications to improve safety for pedestrians and drivers.

5th/Kirkham Neighbor Concerns • Pedestrian safety at the intersection and adjacent blocks • Lack of observance of posted STOP signs in all directions – particularly, eastbound left and southbound right • Travel speeds on both Kirkham Street and 5th Avenue • Increased cut-through traffic due to the reconfiguration of 7th Avenue and implementation of traffic calming along nearby streets.
Initial Proposal – Elements of Design • Slows Southbound Right Turns • New Visible STOP Striping • Shorter Crosswalks • Slows Eastbound Left Turns • Slows Eastbound Traffic Approaching Intersection • “Gateway” to Slow Eastbound Traffic
