Description

Okay, I understand that organizations need money, (and I support as many as I can) but soliciting donations from passing motorists in the middle of Rt 209 is just a bad idea.

These well intentioned people usually do not have the proper brightly colored reflective vests, and do not place appropriate signs and cones to indicate a hazard lies ahead.

In the past month or so, two of the sidewalk workers were struck and they had vests on and signs in place.

This practice should stop (or at least require permits and the proper protection). I really fear that a volunteer will be hurt or killed, or that thier actions will lead to a rear end collision if this continues.

This situation is dangerous and could be very costly to the organizations.
