| You said that, “given the crosswalks”, W Hudson isn’t obviously unsafe. I tried to figure out what crosswalks, plural, you were talking about. There is one crosswalk at the E side of the intersection with Lyon. There is not a crosswalk on the W side, nor is there there one before W Hudson ends a ways to the west. If you follow Lyon to the south, you will find the word “SCHOOL” in big letters in the road, with no associated crosswalk. If you go east a couple thousand feet, there’s another crosswalk. Sure, a couple thousand feet is a credible distance to walk if you’re going for a walk, but it’s rather far to detour as a pedestrian to get across a street. Okay, maybe the kids in question should have used the crosswalk at Lyon. If your mark is right, I buy that. But this road looks awful. Suppose you’re at Southwest Jr. High and you want to go to La Bodega Food Mart or Subway. How do you get there while using crosswalks to cross major streets? The obvious locations that seem like they should have crosswalks don’t have them. > What's a SCHOOL marking? Check out satellite view and go south a little way on Lyon. “SCHOOL” is painted on the street. Notably, no crosswalk is painted on the street. |
