Monroe Street miracle! Crosswalk used as intended.

A family of cranes was observed crossing a busy neighborhood intersection this week during morning rush hour. They activated the pedestrian crossing button, waited for traffic to yield, and proceeded through the marked crosswalk with confidence.

Sources on the scene report that traffic stopped for the birds, offering cautious evidence that local commuters do, in fact, recognize crosswalks under certain conditions. The cranes, having safely reached the other side, declined to comment.
