Sometimes people are their own worst enemies.
I wonder if any of the people who were blowing through the flashing cross-walk light are now regretting their actions now that they have to wait for a whole red light cycle to pass.

I doubt it is that simple. I would be willing to bet there were other factors involved, probably both the volume of pedestrians crossing a very busy street, many of whom are very cavalier and careless and cars in too much of a hurry due to that bottleneck.
Wanna bet more pedestrians will be hit now that they have to wait for the light to cycle and too many won't wait?

I will pass on the bet.
PS: Some drivers are pretty cavalier too.

"

wanna bet on a traffic camera in less then 12 months? For safety of course.

One of the problems with that intersection is that there is a bend in the road right there...at Wardlaw.
If you are going southbound, and there's a bus at the bus stop, one only has a fraction of a second to react to someone just pressing and crossing.
If people just cross without regards to their own well being (and rely on a driver's reaction) I reckon a bit of a natural selection process comes into play.
I know when I cross at a crosswalk, I always watch for cars that may not stop.
