Additional comments from the Tarrytown Walking Audit, 9/14/14
According to Federal Statistics, this intersection is the most dangerous in Tarrytown, with three pedestrians hit in recent years.
-- Unclear crosswalks, wide intersection to cross -- Poor sight lines for cars, curb cut for pedestrians not channeled (too wide) -- Speed limit too high, and there are three different speeds in a very small area (20, 25 & 30).
Possible opportunity:
-- Perhaps a stop light or raised median?
So sorry - I forgot to post my name. The above comment is mine!

I agree with the suggestion that the crosswalk have a higher visibility design. In addition however, this intersection needs a traffic light. A signalized intersection could safely allow for a reduction in the turning radius, thereby reducing the crossing distance for pedestrians, as cars entering Broadway would no longer need to merge with moving north/south traffic. A "No Turn on Red" regulation should then be adopted once the signal goes in.
Traffic calming.org has a table on the effectiveness of different approaches to reducing traffic:

We have taken our kids here for a number of events, including the Pinkster Festival, a traditional African American colonial celebration. The kids loved it, and we all learned so much about both parts of history we were unaware of, as well as traditional African colonial cooking, storytelling and culture. Highly recommended!
