Total negligence on her part. Too bad she warned you though. If you got hit you could have sued the city big time.

It has happened. No joke.

I have also been almost wiped out this way, with both my kids in tow. On the way back to Disneyland to our hotel. If I had not known about this lawsuit I might not have been as careful and the guy was 3/4 through the crosswalk before he looked. Scary. I am now real careful crossing when there are two lanes in both directions. I will also not stop in this scenario if I think it will cause a dangerous situation. The other thing I do is if no one is beside me is stop but at an angle across both lanes so someone coming has a bit of warning. Overkill maybe but I would not want to be part of that type of accident.
