Elm Street at Baker Ave is in desperate need of a cross walk. There are many kids in the Baker Ave neighborhood who go back and forth and Elm street is very dangerous. The problem is the sidewalk to town and to all the connecting neighborhoods is only on one side of Elm (the opposite side of Elm from Baker) so it forces everyone to cross. Because traffic has increased so much recently, Elm street is far to dangerous to cross without help because drivers routinely speed 10-15 miles above the limit.

A cross walk would also forces drivers cutting though to RT2 to slow down and be more careful with so many children in the area.

We are one mile from town so many people walk and there are many school aged kids in the area. Please consider a cross walk from Elm (near Adams) across to Baker (near #1/#2 Baker). I believe this is a safety issue as I live at 511 Elm and watch many kids and even adults try and cross everyday. Please take a look at the area and consider.

My neighbors and I thank you for your consideration.
