This happens here too.  The intersection the girl was killed at on Geddes a decade or so ago should have had a crosswalk, but the city's been on a mission since the 80s to remove crosswalks at most intersections, and put up painted ones elsewhere.  

Also, there was a young woman killed on Plymouth several years ago as well, in a crosswalk with an RRFB.  As I pointed out to the city a couple of years later, if you're in the right lane eastbound on Plymouth at that location (the motorist was), you're on the inside of a bit of a blind curve.  The RRFB lights are positioned in away that there are a few large street trees that block your view of the RRFB lights until quite close to that crosswalk.  I suggested they move the quite useless extra lights over by Willowtree (you have excellent visibility of the RRFB lights without the extra flashers) over to that curve.  They replied that they did a perfect job.

And that doesn't count all the ways they encourage speeding.
