This intersection has been a shit show for years. We're on vision zero influenced V2. The bridge through LSP to 78 has not helped one bit, nor the additional hospital construction. It's still unsafe and awkward to use for pedestrians, cars, and bikes trying to use it.

One time in a tread here someone demanded I couldn't possibly know it was dangerous without a traffic study, which got me pissy because ANYONE WHO HAS WALKED ACROSS THAT INTERSECTION GETS IT. It probably needs a left turn arrow from Jersey onto Grand, probably needs raised cross walks, probably needs speed bumps or other calming measure further back in all directions, probably needs a full cycle of red for cars and walk for pedestrians. Probably also needs a crossing guard posted for all rush hour times.

This intersection only existed as is when the bridge was finished like two years ago

It's more trafficked now on Jersey, but it was very bad and still a problem before they reworked Grand St. That part is better now, the rest, not so much
