Here is a big shocker that West Ave has more pedestrians and
cyclists hit and hurt since the road has been redone. I am not even going to say that I think what
the DOT did to West Ave had anything to do with it, I think that reason that
West Ave is more dangerous is because people don’t pay attention. I am talking drivers, walkers, bikers none of
the group pays attention to anything further than the few feet in front of their
faces. Don’t believe me take a few
minutes today and just park in a lot that has a clear line to any street with
traffic, people are not paying attention, they are futzing with their radio,
looking at things around them as they drive by talking on the phone or with the
people in the car with them or looking at their damn phone, either texting or Facebook
posting. Heck with the storms we have
had the last few days I have seen Facebook live videos of people while they are
driving. And I have only just touched on
the drivers, look at the cyclists and the pedestrians, they are doing the same
thing. And everyone is trying to prove a
point by claiming the ownership of the road.
How about going back to what your mom taught you, be polite and share
the road, and if someone lets you in give them the courtesy wave.
