I really wanted to purchase in old Laurel, but I did not have the money.<BR/><BR/>I would not be satisfied with just a crosswalk at Cypress for a number of reasons, though it would be a start. My neighborhood (Oakcrest) has very narrow streets with no curbs or sidewalks, which is a mental block to walking anywhere. Furthermore, I think there ought to be AT LEAST one more signaled crosswalk between Cypress and Mulberry, as they are 3/4 mile apart from each other. The intersection at Cypress has no median/pedestrian refuge, and the east side of the street has a steep hill that usually stacks with cars. Again, there are no crosswalks on that side of Cypress. This is still a rather unsafe (and circuitous; it increases the distance traveled from 1600 feet as-the-crow-flies to almost 4000 feet door to door) route to get from my house to my grocery store with my wagon.Davemurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331653772702609738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923189313755341259.post-1666966099798960982009-02-02T21:05:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:05:00.000-05:00Allow me a gentle tut-tut for a second, then offer...Allow me a gentle tut-tut for a second, then offer a solution.<BR/><BR/>Tut tut:<BR/>Directly behind the Safeway, in Laurel City, are multiple, tree-lined, walkable neighborhoods with sidewalks on both sides of the streets, a varied mix of housing stock, and streets with very low vehicle volumes and speeds. You look young enough, such that the above-mentioned neighborhoods pre-date your homebuying decision...Just sayin'.<BR/><BR/>Potential solution:<BR/>Write MD-SHA (district 3). Tell them you would like re-painted crosswalks across US1 where it intersects with Cypress. Ask for the big fat crosswalk hatch lines like those found in DC. It can't hurt - the cost of paint or hot-tape is minimal. That location already has a pedestrian push-button, so you should be okay in that department, but you could always shoot for the moon and ask for one of those fancy countdown timers like they have as Main/US1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923189313755341259.post-53718070389084488172009-02-02T16:56:00.000-05:002009-02-02T16:56:00.000-05:00Lucre, I haven't yet, but I am currently checking ...Lucre, <BR/>I haven't yet, but I am currently checking out what might be the best way to voice this opinion to the company.
