>Willow Lawn Dr. & W Broad St.

There's not even a crosswalk on the East side across W Broad St at Willow Lawn Dr. and that's where the Pulse ends and passengers have to transfer for travel to destinations further west. I know theres one on the other side but seems like many people will risk it.

I take that route occasionally and many riders do indeed risk it.

I live close to here. Crossing at Willow Lawn and Monument is really scary too! I’ve been crossing when it’s legal to cross and had drivers lay on their horns to the point I almost jumped out of my damn skin. Ridiculous.

I believe a pedestrian was killed here just before Christmas.

Oh wow, that's tragic. Didn't even make the news! West Broad west of Staples Mill is a massive stroad. I won't cross most intersections there due to lack of crosswalk.

it was right near the Chik Fil A. I can only hope they got one last nugget. Joking, but not really. Chik Fil A should have paid for a cross walk. They know the lengths people are willing to go to get that peanut oil goodness.

If they're truly "good Christians", they should provide a better path to the restaurant but really it's the Richmond DOT's duty to provide better pedestrian infrastructure.
