Description

I live at 48 spring st and would like to request a new crosswalk from my house to the sidewalks across the street. Where my house is located, on a busy double yellow line road, there are no side walks to the left or the right of my house, and there is not even a flat area to the left or right where I could walk my dog or push a stroller without being on the main road, which isn't very wide. There are side walks across the street from my house, but traffic, coming especially from the left when facing the sidewalks across the street from my house, do not see me standing in my driveway due to a small hill. No one ever slows down or stops for me to cross, and it makes me nervous that I have to sprint out of my driveway to safely walk around my neighborhood. If there was a crosswalk, at least cars would be required to stop. I realize my house is the only one this would help, but I have a dog and baby on the way and I fear that something bad may happen as there's no way to safely exit my home on foot.
