Editor,
I just read this article about the history of jay walking; why it is not safe to cross the street. In case you’re wondering why our town seems stuck or does not know how to make our road system safer, read this article: Joy Riders and Jay Walkers, by Peter Norton http://transalt.org/news/magazine/2014/Spring/14. This three page article explains the historical roots, starting in 1910, of jay walking and why some car drivers disrespect pedestrians.
