one of the reasons I started riding on the road on the worst block on my commute is that the bike path/sidewalk has a button for peds that does nothing except turn on the walk light. There is no walk cycle and there is both left turning and right turning traffic crossing the crosswalk at the same time as well as right turn on red traffic. It's really bad there and I'm surprised there haven't been more pedestrian accidents. This is probably because there is an island for pedestrians and they yield to the automotive traffic, but it still is a real problem trying to frogger your way across that intersection.
