Description
This afternoon around 12:45 I was parking my car on Oak St at Central Ave. I noticed many students using the crosswalks but also noticed one car turn in front of them and saw two cars run the red light crossing Central. About a half hour later I walked back to my car. While I was in the crosswalk, crossing on Central a car turned right in front of me too! Is it possible to have an officer patrol this area for safety? Thank you
