Pedestrians in Stamford: Maligned, Misunderstood

Advocate: Pedestrians are in jeopardy at station- 04/07/2008
To the editor:

If Stamford police officers wants to make our city safer, they need only to place themselves at the Springdale train station at the evening rush.

Commuters trying to cross Hope Street, using the crosswalk, take their lives in their hands daily. Cars drive by at high speeds, honking their horns and shooting angry looks as we try to cross the street on our walk home. The sign by the side of the road does not get their attention, and most drivers feel inconvenienced to have to stop.

I just hope that a solution is found before someone gets seriously injured.
