"I am concerned that putting in one well marked crossing will make the others even more difficult, because drivers (and pedestrians) will begin to believe that only one crossing is legitimate or legal. In reality, I think the road as whole must change in some way."
I think that this is a good point. Right now, given that the street bisects a park, I feel able to cross wherever I like when a gap in traffic allows. And, when I'm driving that road, I'm aware that people might be crossing at any given point. I think the speeds should be slowed (it's good than it's signed at 30, but in reality much traffic exceeds that) and people given the ability to cross wherever.
