In walking down Piikoi Street from Ala Moana Boulevard to Beretania Street, I counted 19 intersections where the crosswalks were barely identifiable. In many cases cars were blocking the way, perhaps because drivers did not notice they were in a crosswalk.

It is time to get out the white paint and make it safer for pedestrians. This is not the only area where I have noticed problems with marked crosswalks.

Also, before painting, it would be wonderful to fix the cracks and potholes at these crosswalks. Is this too much to ask?
