Crosswalk blues

So my wife received a response from Josh Bragg about her crosswalk challenge. I didn't read the email yet but the gist of it was that the Mayor knows about it, that decisions about where crosswalks go aren't really up to him, but not to worry, another survey of the situation will be conducted in the fall of 2015. Sounds like the runaround to me.

And I got the impression that Mayor Savage won't be crossing Baker Drive in a wheelchair so I would assume he declined the challenge. I guess voters only count when it's election time.

I don't know how many times we have to say it in order to be heard, but there is no crosswalk on Baker Drive and any senior coming out of the seniors home who wishes to get across the street to the bus stop must either walk to the bottom of Baker Drive or up the hill to the top of Baker Drive. Down will take 10-15 minutes. Up will take 30-45 minutes and that's for someone like me. So unless it's legal to jaywalk, I guess the seniors can just stay put until the fall survey.
