[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live just a few blocks from where the boy was killed. I just drove down University Boulevard and see that there is a giant speed camera now near there and the crosswalk looks to have been repainted.

I’m sorry this thread has devolved into such ridiculous arguments over status of neighborhoods. To answer a poster from above, the Kensington ZIP Code does extend almost all the way to the mall. It is then Wheaton and pedestrian safety on those streets near there is also a concern in this neighborhood.[/quote]

After seeing this post, I decided to drive by the intersection while I was out today.  As I was driving up the hill on University, I saw the bright white crosswalk at St. Paul, and then the huge speed camera in the median a little further up.  Right as I passed the camera, a kid darted out of the bushes and ran across University right in front of my car.  If I had been going the speed limit (I was only going 15 mph), I could have very easily hit him.

We have to emphasize and emphasize again the message not to jaywalk.[/quote]
