Western Springs Poll: Ogden Crosswalk a Plus?

( results: of 348 respondents, 60 percent [210] favored a park or open land in Timber Trails Unit II, 29 percent [103] wanted a nine-hole golf course, 6 percent [21] wanted a housing development and 4 percent [14] thought of something else entirely.)

Even if you haven't yet used the revamped Ogden Avenue crosswalk to reach Bemis Woods, you've probably at least driven through it and noticed the signage and lights. So what's your call?

From comments on our , it seems like there are three schools of thought about the changes: it's either a long-overdue solution, a flawed step in the right direction or a disaster just waiting to happen.

So we're putting it up to a poll! Improving this crosswalk has been a topic of discussion for at least as long as Patch has been in Western Springs, and now that it has finally come to fruition, is it helping, hurting or somewhere in-between?

And as always, please leave a comment explaining your choice! Got any interesting stories about the crosswalk thus far?
