Afraid to cross the street on foot

I live in Ellsworth Springs, very close to I-205 and SE 10th St. I can walk around my block, but I have observed that the intersections at 10th St and Ellsworth, 205 and Chkalov are dangerous to the few pedestrians that dare cross the road. Cars here are generally not expecting pedestrians. The one time I tried to cross 10th going north, pushing my kid in a stroller, a Southbound SUV on Ellsworth nearly plowed us down in the intersection. That was 7 years ago and I have avoided crossing 10th Ave. on foot since. I wonder if there is a way to make this neighborhood safer for pedestrians.

Ellsworth Springs needs more sidewalks. It’s a very pedestrian-unfriendly neighborhood.
