Something must be done about pedestrian safety. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been walking alone, or with my wife, or my young children, and we’ve very nearly been bowled over in the crosswalk by impatient drivers not paying the slightest bit of attention to pedestrians. I increasingly feel as if it’s safer to jaywalk when I know the roads are clear than wait for the light and risk getting run over by drivers turning left without looking. What can be done to make the streets around the village safer for those of us who walk?
