Per Annie Tsai's article today, infrastructure solutions can make this intersection safer.
If the traffic light phasing included a left turn only phase, it would greatly reduce conflict with pedestrians. Instead, the designers forced left turning drivers to race into small openings in oncoming traffic before hopefully avoiding pedestrians in the crosswalk. Someone made a decision that another traffic phase would unduly slow car traffic and now another person has died.
