You can see these walkers on Main Street across from the Hanover Theater crossing Chatham Street. &amp;nbsp;They waited awhile to get that light after hitting the walking button.&amp;nbsp;In the area that has frequent pedestrian activity such as this, you can have automatic walk intervals to allow pedestrians to cross and make pedestrian activity more predictable. &amp;nbsp;In fact, if the light on Main Street is green, walkers could have an automatic signal to cross. &amp;nbsp;Technical terms for this kind of signaling is called, &quot;concurrent pedestrian phase.&quot;&amp;nbsp;Changing these signals could make a huge impact on the walkability of the city.  Here is one more idea about making walking more pleasant on our city streets. &amp;nbsp;Let's just stop the current &quot;Barnes Dance&quot; pedestrian scrambles. &amp;nbsp;If you are a walker, you know this kind of signaling. &amp;nbsp;You press the light, wait and wait until the signal is given and all directions of intersection traffic stop for the pedestrians. &amp;nbsp;The problem: &amp;nbsp;Both walkers and drivers are frustrated with the wait they are forced to endure because of &amp;nbsp;this signaling. &amp;nbsp;You know the drill. &amp;nbsp;Press the button. &amp;nbsp;Wait and wait and wait. &amp;nbsp;Get impatient. &amp;nbsp;Try to cross anyway. &amp;nbsp;Cross. &amp;nbsp;Light changes. &amp;nbsp;All cars are stopped but you have already crossed so the traffic in all four directions stop for no reason. &amp;nbsp;Frustration!
