I think the issue is more placement — they're required to be proximate to the curb ramp. (And lots of places that historically had beg buttons are finding their placement is now noncompliant.)

At the community meeting for a discussion about Liberty Street safety (again arghh) and it’s pretty clear that the people here favor the 5 lane proposal. #pedsafety #otrcincy #walkable #connection @ChrisSeelbach @GregLandsman @votePASTOR

This made us LOL listening at home. #BRILL #pedsafety RT @nswartsell: "I don't dispute the aims of this ordinance, but the timing seems conspicuously divisive," Sittenfeld says.

Drivers, on every school day, be sure to remember to make eye contact with pedestrians before proceeding through a crosswalk!
