<div dir="ltr">Couldn't agree more, Bob. I use that crossing twice a day, morning and evening, on the way to and from the MARC station. It's an awkward intersection, irregular, with odd angles, as the entire 'intersection' from Lafayette & Queensbury up to the crossing from S&J's over to Bikram Yoga/parking lot is awkward and challenging for pedestrians and planners alike, I'm sure. Specifically at Lafayette & Queensbury, the direct route runs kitty-corner from the SE (Town Center Market) over to NW (MARC parking lot), and in fact, because of the odd angles, it's almost a straight shot (as opposed to kitty-corner angle) - but of course there's no crosswalk there. When traffic is slow, I use that straight shot across. When there's more traffic, I will cross by where the mail box is on Queensbury over to Mabelle Munch Park - though there's no crosswalk there either - and then cross Lafayette (where there is a crosswalk) to get to the MARC parking lot. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 9:48 PM, bob smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sfmc68@verizon.net" target="_blank">sfmc68@verizon.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Great turn out despite the heat!

The path across Queensbury at Lafayette is exceptionally treacherous. I<br>
watched families with small children and folks walking slow in the heat<br>
trying to dodge cars, irritated drivers, gentle drivers, and of course<br>
rude drivers.<br>
<br>
When will we see safe crossings?<br>
