I love this intersection. Cars are all doing 50 here.
I saw that sign once all the way up near fed ex in the side street that connects to sassafras.

29th and Liberty intersection story
Some of my co-workers have been working hard to get the intersection outside of our office improved and they got a story on the news today. They even used some of my photos of the poor crosswalk sign that was abused and destroyed by the traffic. 
Check out the story, I think they did a pretty good job.

Can we get the Pedestrian Czar to get the city police's "yield to peds" sting going at that intersection? Preferably at either 8 AM or 5 PM.
Though I have a fantasy of something reminiscent of a dog track. You know, where the fake rabbit runs along a rail and all the dogs chase it? I'd like to see a rail in the crosswalk that periodically gets a crash-test-dummy pedestrian trotting through it at a walking pace. Only it is filled with concrete. Call it a "pop driving test". After all, we have fire drills, why not driving drills?

The sign is still at that intersection steevo.
There was another accident two days ago and I think that was the last straw for my co-worker. A woman leaving the medical office with her baby had her car totaled by an SUV.

I lived up on Polish Hill for years, and hated walking to the Strip because of this intersection. A toddler and an infant in a stroller were not easy to maneuver through that area. Maybe an over or underpass would be in order there, similar to the one under Bigelow at Heron.

someone should apply for a sprout fund grant to hand out free pizza to motorists at that intersection as an alternative means of traffic calming.

The extra traffic it caused would just piss them off even more.
