It's nice that there is a light and safe crossing at the intersection of Erin & Park Street, and if my memory serves me correctly there is also a signal at the intersection with Fish Hatch, but I guess I still think there's ample need for a triggered signal at Haywood & Park St. for peds and cyclists. Maybe it's not in the budget, but it will remain on my wishlist.
