Reply to comment by RuthBaderG in List Ave at E Coldspring Ln to Harford Rd has been closed to through traffic. There have been numerous auto crashes due to motorists using it as a shortcut, and so we are closing the road to through traffic indefinitely beginning Fri, Nov 18. by BmoreCityDOT

You’re welcome! That is part of our complete streets program.

When is the leading pedestrian interval pilot starting? I was promised one at 29th and Huntingdon a few months ago.

When your councilperson yells at DOT as consistently as Dorsey does to get this stuff installed. That's the only reason this is happening.

We do not like being yelled at. Please don’t encourage more people to yell us, it doesn’t help.

I don't think anyone wants to yell but the only time we've ever had any long DOT promised installation ever occur in my community it was because we threatened to sue or complained loudly enough someone finally listened.

Trying to work collaboratively? Yeah. My community is doing that right now and is about to lose a $50k grant DOT wrote a letter of support for because DOT is over a year late on even answering emails when they were supposed to install their part of the grant already.

So, it's going to have to come down to being loud and mad again.
