Bravo Jeff - There are 3 such crosswalks between Harrison and Euclid that are not well marked and very dangerous. A woman was killed at the Bellevue/Grand crossing a year or so ago. I'd like to see at each of these crossings: the street zebraed; larger-than-standard day-glo, reflective, chartreuse crosswalk signs and button-operated flashing lights. Add to that lowering the speed limit to 25mph from Harrison east to the Piedmont line on Grand. (Have you noticed that it IS 25 west of Harrison??!!!

I completely agree, I live in Adam's Point and cross over Grand at a couple of these crosswalks with my step kid. It is very hard to see cars coming from both directions and I have had to "get on my horse' more than a couple of times. More visible crosswalks and a 25mph speed limits are good ideas. I would add that if lights were put in, the should be TIMED (sorry for yelling) at 25 mph. There is no reason why a car should not be able to drive from the Piedmont border to the Bay Bridge entrance in West Oakland without stopping.
Many benefits to this:
Cars driving slower and in control
Pedestrians knowing when the light will change
A traffic "flow"
Less frustration for drivers
Less polluting cars sitting at lights and stop signs
A city that comes across as having it's stuff together

I think that you should also be able to drive down Harrison from Mac all the way to the Webster tube without stopping as well. Streets all over the city should have their lights timed. It would cut down on red light runners and the annoyance of the untimed lights this place is so famous for.
