Spread This Idea

Where

All of downtown

My idea to improve this place

Every crossing in the downtown area should be diagonal crossing for the pedestrians...

So that people could... 

Cross the street safely without holding up traffic or causing accidents

Because I want San Antonio to be...

Safe for all people be it walking or driving..

Well I can see why this might be attractive but it was tried by the Nix Hospital and it just confused the bejeebers out of our poor visitors. In a different place with fewer visitors unfamiliar with the system it might work but not so much here.
