This intersection has a raised brick "crosswalk" but no painted white stripe lines. The result is that cars driving down Albany rarely yield for pedestrians in an area with a large student population.

We have had similar complaints at other raised intersections in the city, notably on Oxford Street. We have since changed our design standard for raised intersections to include built-in, white stripe crosswalks.
I will check this location to see if anything can be added to improve the visibility of the crossing.

What is the meaning of a raised intersection? It's not a crosswalk.
This intersection would be much better if they got rid of the raised part, and replaced it with regular crosswalks with sidewalk bulb-outs.
