I walk across Pratt Street every day, multiple times a day, and there are plenty of safe intersections. I agree that cars very much suck at stopping at the light where Light St furthest splits to the east & turns into Pratt and are only slightly better at the giant crosswalk that leads to where the ice rink was, and actually enforcing those lights would do a ton of good. They also desperately need to fix most of the pedestrian signals on Calvert. So I'm not denying that there is room for significant improvement.

But I've never once felt unsafe crossing at South St, Commerce St, Market Place, or Gay St (Gay St is especially good because traffic stops in both directions, so no one has a green light at all when pedestrians are allowed to cross). You could try one of these intersections if that's actually holding you back.
