Here’s the decision made by the agency in this case, which was to install a new pedestrian signal pole which located the pedestrian signal in a more centered location over the East Boulevard crosswalk.

From the same perspective as previous slide, this is looking across Dilworth after APS installation. The pushbutton for Dilworth street crossing was installed on the wooden utility pole. Note that it is on the side facing the intersection and the sidewalk for that street, parallel to the crosswalk (different location on the pole than the previous pushbutton). The APS for crossing the major street, East Blvd., was installed on a new pedestrian signal pole, about 3 feet back from the major street, near the beginning of the landscape strip along the major street (near the outside line of the crosswalk). . Gas lines and water lines were carefully avoided in the installation. The APS faces toward the intersection and the face is parallel to the crossing of the major street

Both APS/pushbuttons are located in line with the crosswalk they control. Each is reachable from the paved sidewalk and level landing area, important for people with mobility impairments.
