Franklin/Freeman intersection

My apartment overlooks this corner and I have seen and/or heard tens of accidents at the intersection. It’s getting increasingly bad. Tonight, a cab driver hit a cyclist, throwing him off of the bike. Then the driver proceeded to run over the bicycle and continue on, full speed ahead, South down Franklin street. Thankfully, the cyclist seemed okay, there was a witness on the street.

I noticed they did paint some kind of a yellow caution sign onto the road but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Are there any community organizers to get in touch with? I would guess they are likely aware of it but maybe with more support we can help make it a bit safer. Be careful out there!

TLDR: This intersection is so dangerous and there are constantly accidents here - how do we make it safer?
