I would like to elaborate on a point from a previous article pertaining to the dangers that the on-going construction has placed in the paths of Point Park University students, faculty, staff and Downtown residents.  Beginning last spring, the sidewalks on campus have been ripped up and revamped to look exactly as they did before the project began.  The shutdowns of walkways and poorly planned accommodations to building entrances were scary paths to tread, to say the least, leaving gaps between roads and buildings exposed, and leaving minimal space for crosswalk access.In addition to construction hassles, at least two people were hit by vehicles at the intersection of Wood Street and Boulevard of the Allies last spring.  Most recently and closest to Point Park a university shuttle driver was hit by a Port Authority bus, losing his life as a result of a heart condition after the incident.  Students were assured that the intersection’s safety was under review by Point Park and city officials.  A test was conducted to assess speed in conjunction with times of day that traffic was heaviest, and Point Park security guards continued to monitor the crosswalks at peak hours.It is still dangerous out there as construction wears on, and traffic speed continues to go un-checked by police that I have seen since the test was conducted.  I am still weary of crossing Boulevard of the Allies even when the light indicates that I may cross since there have been times when cars have turned, just stopping short of making me a statistic and a 30-second bit on the nightly news. I think that, one, the city should invest in the safety of its citizens by installing crosswalk signs as well as turn signals for drivers, and two, install speed monitors and cameras at the intersection, since it is clearly a blind spot for police, so that drivers will be penalized for, well, breaking the law.  By instituting at least one of these points, pedestrians would feel a tad more at ease, and drivers would experience less confusion, or at least be in less of a rush to get through the light. Both drivers and pedestrians are at fault here, though.  Every day I cross the intersection an infinite amount of times, and each time, there is always a brave soul who, with no regard, crosses with a gaggle of people who blindly follow without looking both ways first.  It is just like preschool folks, except we cannot risk playing follow the leader, so you have to question the actions of the leader.  Use your common sense and look both ways before you cross the street. No, you do not have to hold hands, you are grownups.  Drivers also need to use their common sense by slowing down and taking turns.Whether behind the wheel or on foot, it must be understood the Boulevard of the Allies is pretty much an extended off-ramp for three bridges and an extended on-ramp for feasibly every direction in Downtown.  Traffic is incredibly heavy and fast-paced drivers are trying to get in or out of town, taking no time to slow down coming in and wasting no time speeding up to get out.
