[Lincolnparkdc] 12th St and East Capitol St SE crosswalk into Lincoln Park

[regina arlotto]

Thank you Eli for raising this important issue. As Ken noted we have raised
this issue for years, and I am not sure why DDOT treats Lincoln Park
differently from Stanton Park. (Full disclosure: I work for DDOT) As a
neighbor, I would very much support additional safe crossing measures at
this intersection. Rarely do drivers stop to let people cross and I've just
taken aggressive pedestrian steps to proceed into the crosswalk and MAKE
them stop. (Of course, I know this is potentially dangerous, but I hate
letting car drivers speed through.)

Best regards,
Gina Arlotto
100 block Kentucky
