<div dir="ltr">Thanks for sharing this, Jess. I have the same concerns, particularly about the police car parked by the crosswalk. There is never anyone in that police car, which is particularly odd to me (although, I appreciate that its presence may generally serve as a deterrent). Just as it's hard to see around this car to safely cross and for cars to see pedestrians, it similarly is difficult to see around legally parked cars at the crosswalk further north on East Cap SE. The legal parking just comes too close to the crosswalk for pedestrians and drivers to be able to see. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 27, 2024 at 9:01 AM Marche' Maine <<a href="mailto:markrichardgrace@gmail.com">markrichardgrace@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="auto">Speaking to the officer in the vehicle directly might be the most efficient way.
