And the list keeps growing. Crossing Seminole Blvd is dangerous, and other than just talk, the list will continue to grow, as well as Roadside Memorials.

Sadly wont be the last. People cross busy streets all the time. And using crosswalks-yeah right that doesn't happen very much. How about ticketing them. Some even cross when the sign says dont cross. Either they cant read a big orange hand or they are idiots.

The underlying problem remains. We need better crossings, elevated or similar. I was struck crossing Starkey Rd, IN the crosswalk, with the crossing sign. Accidents happen. Rather than calling people idiots or placing blame, we need real solutions.
