Description

There are several key intersections throughout the city that could benefit from signs installed ON THE STREETS/IN THE CROSSWALKS that remind drivers of the state law requiring them to yield to pedestrians. Such signs have been successfully installed on Glens Falls' Glen Street/downtown, which is a much more pedestrian-friendly city than ours, where drivers willingly yield, even to pedestrians not in crosswalk areas. I try to walk to/from work each day, and cross several busy spots where drivers have no regard for walkers/bikers: At Park Place/Circular St/Whitney Place; at Union Ave and Regent St; at Congress Park and Spring and Henry Streets...to name just a few. For quality of life, to encourage more walkers/bikers and fewer cars downtown...PLEASE help to create a downtown that is safer for and friendlier to us!
