Descrizione

There is a bus stop on both sides and cars come real fast on both the turns on MLK. I have seen cars spend out and luckily they didn't hit anyone and then they just kept going. Once you get off the bus, students (like my daughter who attends Berkeley high school), elderly people (who walk slowly), handicap (like my neighbor who is blind) have a hard time crossing. You must wait for a nice driver to stop for you, then other cars will stop or you must wait to NO cars are coming.

That's why I'm only requesting for the button/press when crossing, flashing lights (on the street and on the pole), so cars will have to stop only when a pedestrians need to cross the street.

I would be happy to meet with Mr. Joe Wang and show how the cars come around the turn from Alcatraz St. real fast and you can't see them coming, then you must move fast if you cross. Also, coming off the 51st freeway exit, cars sometimes still come down the street like they are still on the freeway. Drivers are always blowing the horn at each other because they go too fast and move into each other’s lanes.

I could get my neighbors to let you know how many times at 61st there have been car accidents, because drivers are whipping down our street way too fast. I hope this help you understand why I’m requesting the flashing cross lights and how this type of light is very much needed at least at the 61st street crossing.

Thank you
