You may have noticed the construction going on at the intersection of McAbee Road and Golden Oak Way at Jeffrey Fontana Park. Another crosswalk with flashing beacons and bulb-out curb extensions, just like the one at the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Oak Glen Way, is being installed. Per a news article in the San Jose Mercury News, the logic for bulb-outs is pedestrian safety. Pedestrians can walk across a narrower street and be less exposed to traffic for a shorter distance and amount of time.
