Columbia Intersection Crisis | Harrisburg News

Columbia, Pennsylvania, is on edge after a deadly crash at Third and Chestnut streets—just the latest in a string of dangerous intersections that have claimed lives and injured children. Residents are furious, demanding action after years of ignored pleas. The mayor admits the problem stems from drivers turning right on green while pedestrians have the walk signal—a fatal mistake that killed two locals last August. Now, officials are exploring bold fixes like a “pedestrian scramble” phase, improved crosswalks, and better visibility to make the area safer for walkers. With state and county help on the way, the mayor’s message is clear: everyone must stay vigilant until the streets become truly safe.
