Nick Licata, co-chair of the Seattle City Council Pedestrian Safety Committee has invited the citizens of Seattle to help improve pedestrian safety by sending in photos of dangerous intersections. As stated by Licata:

The information provided by citizens will be used, together with other sources of information and engineering judgments, to develop priorities in improving pedestrian safety. Suggesting changes or improvements to an intersection or a crosswalk does not mean that the City will make the suggested changes or improvement because the changes may not be warranted under existing standards or because the City’s professional engineering staff may not agree that changes are needed.

To submit your entries:

• Email your digital photos to my legislative assistant at frank.video@seattle.gov. In the subject line type: “Critical Crossings”.
• Name the cross streets of each intersection you submit, i.e. “Slowpoke Avenue North and Busy Boulevard Southwest”.
• Include any comments you wish to make about each intersection you submit.
• Let me know if you want to post your email address next to your photo so others can contact you.
• Submit images in JPG or GIF format. The image should be 640 x 480 pixels or larger. To insure quality, images smaller then 640 x 480 pixels will not be posted on this site.

If you are interested in information about legislation, projects and general issues impacting pedestrian safety, you can sign up to receive my pedestrian safety bulletins by emailing robin.matisse@seattle.gov. In the subject line type: “Add to pedestrian safety list.”
