FOLLOWUP: California/Findlay signal installation

Because of Kimm for the photographs. It’s not but activated, however framework for the California/Findlay “half-signal” has been put in.

It’s been nearly 4 months since SDOT advised neighbors they might set up the pedestrian-activated “half-signal” on the intersection. Neighbors had been pushing for extra security measures on the intersection even earlier than the Could hit-run crash that killed 30-year-old Nicholas Wolf simply north of the intersection. Along with putting in the stoplight, SDOT mentioned in June that it will be “implementing a painted curb bulb within the southeast and northwest quadrants to enhance sightlines for pedestrians crossing on the intersection, and putting in a median island on the south leg of California Ave SW, in shut proximity to the intersection to cut back the open really feel of California Avenue SW, forestall using the middle flip lane as a by way of lane, and doubtlessly cut back automobile speeds.” The report on the lethal Could crash mentioned the 16-year-old driver who hit and killed Wolf advised police he was going “50 to 55 mph” on the time. We’ll be following up with SDOT tomorrow to verify on the timeline for ending the intersection work and activating the sign.
