Just a thought. I wonder if we should encourage DDOT to install a red light camera at NY and 5th? With the increase in pedestrian traffic from north of New York Avenue to the new retail at City Vista, that intersection is an accident waiting to happen. My partner and I walked down to the new hardware store on Saturday morning and were almost run over by a drive not paying attention to the stoplight on NY Avenue. If they know there is a camera there, maybe some will slow down or at least pay better attention to the light changing. Thoughts?

I will pass that on in my log I sent to d. every month. I've also encouraged better striping at the 6th Street crossing. I tell ya', I just love those clueless drivers that think the crosswalk is the "stop zone".
A red light camera should also be considered at the 3rd & New York Avenue intersection. I don't know how many times I've seen near crashes with blind/idiot drivers turning (or just going straight ahead) on to WB New York Avenue mostly from NB New Jersey Avenue and they just think the light before 3rd Street is a joke or just a road decor item.
Well!
