Overview
Central Tarrytown's major intersection. Very busy with pedestrian and auto traffic. Lively location, but needs some improvements.
Challenges:
—Sidewalk/corner too narrow for comfortable movement of pedestrians
—Too narrow for informal gatherings or window-shopping
—Sidewalks are not buffered from moving vehicle traffic
—Pedestrian crossing signal is not long enough/not synced with traffic light
—Unclear if bus actually stops in marked location (13B)
—Vehicles encroach on crosswalk space
—There are few places for vehicles to stand, park or unload
—The 7-11 front (on Main Street) presents a blank wall and the sidewalk is too narrow
Opportunities:
— Longer and more accurate crosswalk
— Left turn signal
— Rounabout to keep traffic flow moving
