This is a very important issue for pedestrians, car drivers, and bikers. When turning into Pearl St from Orange (you have to concentrate on oncoming traffic if turning left -- it's a congested intersection), I have suddenly encountered large numbers of pedestrians walking down the middle of the street. After hitting the gas for the turn, you have to hit the brake to avoid running these people over. They seem oblivious to the fact that Pearl St is a road for cars and bikes. Once I almost hit a woman with her baby in the carriage walking literally in the middle of the road. Also dog walkers. The problem is that the tiny sidewalk on the south side is encumbered by many obstructions, like garbage cans, and is covered in broken glass. As the other report states, there is no sidewalk on the north side and cars are coming and going behind Romeos. There are also deliveries at Romeo's that cause a different form of traffic chaos. Something must be done.
