Description

Yesterday afternoon at around 5:15 there was a car accident that occurred at the crosswalk from 555 Long Wharf Drive to 600 Long Wharf Drive. Everyday when I cross the street virtually NO cars stop and allow me to cross the street. Now that it is dark earlier this is going to be extremely dangerous. A pedestrian SIGNAL (not the little sign that is ignored) is required here. There are several companies whose employees who are required to cross the street at all times of the day. This is a constant problem. When a car does happen to stop, the other cars either fly around them or have to slam on their breaks. This is what happened yesterday, and unfortunately, the car going full speed +, was not able to stop before hitting the car in front of him. Please do something to address this problem before someone (like my coworkers who were in the crosswalk yesterday when this accident occurred) is injured or worse, killed.
