I don't know that any particular construction project would prevent what happened the other night. The key thing is, you've got to make eye contact between [driver and pedestrian] to recognize that the car in fact is going to stop and the person is in fact going to cross the street. All the flashing lights won't make a bit of difference if that piece doesn't happen.

Signage has been placed in the middle of the road to make drivers more aware. We had the city paint the crosswalks white and fluorescent green.

Yes it makes it a little difficult that you have to go across the middle of the road to get all the garbage but besides that it's another day of work.
