Description
This is pretty much THE pedestrian gateway between the CBD and Bushnell Park. Like other heavily walked intersections in the city, this one needs an "ALL WALK" in the rotation. Instead you get stuck on a median!
I tried emailing Raj Mathur in the Engineering Department regarding this matter directly, but got no response so re opening.

Once again, "Congratulations" reads the email. "Issue has been resolved and closed."
So Frustrating. Not, "sorry, not in the budget", or "we think things are fine and dandy as they are", just "Case closed."
Dare I say most CBD intersections-depending on time of day/day of week-have an all walk in the cycle that happens automatically? Even intersections without medians, e.g. Main and Capitol, where one isn't forced-perhaps with a stroller or leashed dog-to be stranded with buses and traffic roaring by on both sides have them.
As I mentioned I emailed Raj Mathur directly. Is he the person in the engineering department who helped prompt this response, "According to the Engineering Department - the mid block signal has an exclusive ped phase with sufficient time to cross the street. Have a Great day!"?
Again, there are intersections with much less pedestrian traffic that have an all walk phase. Not only that, but a standard right angle intersection is much more easier to navigate, because you can at least see who has the green light, at this one you often don't even know which oncoming traffic has the green!
The problem is only made more obvious because there are SO MANY ped friendly intersections in the CBD now...including many (most?) with not only all walks, but the timer countdowns as well. What makes this one different?
