Dangerous walk sign

 Fame has been learning how tops the button at a crosswalk on the W&OD Trail because folks in wheelchairs can’t access the button on the other side of the street.

I have pointed this out to managers twice. Once I got no response. The next time I got an assurance to look into it but nothing happened.

Then I started teaching Fame, but I decided today it isn’t worth it, not that Fame doesn’t learn. It just is not clear to me what the walk sign does. It does not indicate that cars eat the intersection in question have red lights.

I was crossing the intersection today with the walk sign  and saw a biker on the other side gesturing at me but looking to the side. I looked.     

A row of cars was nearing the intersection and after driving through  a green light, I guess, and the  biker was pointing me out to them. That there were multiple cars heading to the  crosswalk leads me to assume the light was green.

This isn’t the first time this has happened, just the first time I realized the walk light is worthless.
