Description
Due to the increase traffic in the area, cars have been running the red lights to ensure that they can get through the intersections. This is becoming dangerous at night for walkers as cars are buzzing through the cross walks and almost hitting walkers. We need improved traffic controls in the intersection and better lights to ensure that drivers can see the walkers.
