It is a wonderful feeling riding in Longmeadow and not seeing people on streets looking for a handout.

City Admin assigned this issue to DPW Admin

Will forward to general superintendent

It is a shame to want this closed. It is a tag team out there at the corners begging for money. Longmeadow has it working for them, why can't Holyoke? Oh well, maybe the next elections someone will step up to the plate and do something.

City council is already working on this issue.

You do realize that sign means that E.Longmeadow enforces a PEDESTRIAN crossing law right? This has nothing to do with people asking for money

You seem to have problems reading. The sign said ped xing law enforces.

Nope. You seem to have trouble understanding basic street signage.

Pedestrian Crossing Law and Legal Definition

Pedestrian Crossing refers to a point on a road that facilitates pedestrians in the crossing of the road. Pedestrian crossing is also known as crosswalk. Generally, pedestrian crossings are found at intersection or near a traffic signal. They may be also located at other points on busy roads. Pedestrian crossing gives priority to pedestrians wishing to cross a road and also to persons assisting pedestrians In the U.S., pedestrian crossings are marked with white stripes. Pedestrian crossings are also known as mid-block crossings and include additional regulatory signage such as “PED XING” for pedestrian crossing, stop or yield signs and flashing yellow beacons. At a pedestrian crossing, all the pedestrians intending to cross can gather so that motorists will notice them quickly. Such crossings are generally installed at crowded areas like in front of schools or shopping malls.
