<div dir="ltr">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.)<div><br></div><div>Best regards, </div><div>Gina Arlotto </div><div>100 block Kentucky </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 26, 2020 at 9:51 AM Eli Rosenfeld <<a href="mailto:rosenfeld.eli@gmail.com">rosenfeld.eli@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Good Morning Neighbors and Happy Thanksgiving,<div><br></div><div>I am currently in the process of requesting the DC Department of Transportation conduct a Traffic Safety Assessment for the crosswalk at the intersection of 12th St and East Capitol St SE, crossing into the southside of Lincoln Park. I've only been living in the neighborhood for a little over a year, but I go to the park everyday and regularly cars zoom by as I attempt to cross the street safely. As a driver, I always come to a stop and turn on my alert lights to warn other drivers as pedestrians cross, however, I understand that people who do not live in the neighborhood may not be as aware of the safety problem associated with this crosswalk.</div><div><br></div><div>Before submitting the application I just wanted to reach out and hear from my neighbors, most of whom have lived in the neighborhood for many more years. Please provide any input on experiences with this specific intersection and any formal/informal actions you may have taken (such as requesting a Traffic Safety Assessment and the subsequent results).</div><div><br></div><div>Note: Please refrain from discussing other dangerous intersections or problems with the proposed pylons on Kentucky Ave as there are other email threads discussing these important topics.</div><div><br></div><div>Please provide an input by Thursday 3 December, so I can submit the application promptly.
