Description

At Warwick Blvd and Main Street, behind Act II there is an alley way that runs behind the stores and comes out on Main Street, between Act II and the old bank building. I have almost been hit there a number of times while walking, the last time a few days ago as someone speeding, ignoring the large public sidewalk that crosses it. About two months ago city workers were standing on Main Street holding a Stop sign, guy ran the sidewalk, Stop sign, while shooting across the street  to public parking all the while being yelled at. Did not slow down at all. There used to be a mirror and a sign to the drivers to yield to pedestrians on the sidewalk,  please put them back. Your best bet is to put up signs warning pedestrians of the non yielding drivers because they are going to get the worst of it. A huge speed bump that means business might help, speed down that alleyway should be a crawl anyway given its narrow, 1920s look and feel and is only one car wide. Making ithe alley one way most likely would not help as it would just be ignore, this seems to be "store" traffic from storefront there.
