So, if this happened in the middle of the block (where there are no traffic controls), why is the media and complainants in the community focusing their attention on the intersection, which is completely irrelevant to the facts? While it's a very busy intersection, there's nothing unsafe about it if pedestrians are not crossing against the traffic crosswalk signal. Sounds like this girl rolled the dice and jay-walked across this busy thoroughfare where cars are often traveling at a high rate of speed.
