I thought it would be nice if someone, preferably the City (ha! as if) would do something about it, even merely spraying a little reflective stuff at the ends of the "islands" to make them easier to spot and maybe a warning symbol like a "Y" with arrowheads. I'm too chicken to do it myself, plus who knows what liability issues are involved in our overly-litigious society.
