Description
I just saw my neighbor trying to cross Otis with their dog almost get hit by a speeding vehicle coming from the Otis and Park St traffic light. He was already in the middle of the crosswalk. Both pedestrian crossings-Regent/Otis and Park Ave/Otis are incredibly dangerous. We need lit crossings or speedbumps between Park and Broadway, this stretch of road is ridiculous. Adding to the danger of the Park Ave crossing is people speeding to merge from the 2 lanes to 1 at the intersection
