Does a database exist, likely CPS I would think, of all the locations of accidents in the past, say 10 years? I assume if it was serious enough to be reported, they have it plotted on the map.
This is anecdotal but I live near 5th Street SW south of 17th ave for almost 2 years. I have seen 5 rear-ender accidents at 22nd avenue by the ped crossing light, all heading southbound on 5th and requiring police / ems assistance. No pedestrian injuries as far as I know, but one day someone wont be lucky.
I have seen others nearby (a couple at royal avenue a block north, but mainly car-on-car turning from Royal and getting clipped). But that many at one intersection should imply an issue with road design and traffic management no?
I assume they look at data like that to see if a particular intersection needs improvement, I would hope at least.
