Description
Dangerous crosswalk to playground. There are crosswalks painted on road, but cars SPEED and DO NOT STOP for pedestrians. Since this is an intersection to a playground, there is concerned for the safety of the area children.
***so they put up a huge yellow crossing sign, great start! But I was thinking that those signs that are placed on the street would be better as well. Any thoughts?

This is a big intersection with limited visibility for southbound cars due to the hill up from Girard.
With cars frequently turning left from Poplar Dr onto Poplar St, it's dangerous for bikes travelling north on Poplar Dr.
This should be a 3-way stop.
In fact, the whole of Poplar Dr. could use some serious traffic calming measures.
It's a very wide street, which causes drivers to accelerate quickly and speed.
But, there are always obstacles in the bike lanes with the number of parked cars for Park and Trail users.
Further, with the ballpark on one side and residential on the other, it's quite dangerous having cars speeding as fast as they do.

I think that and anything that will bring attention to the fact that this is a crosswalk and drivers need to be aware of pedestrians. Any other ideas?
