[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to Jennifer L was awful & tragic. But Nottingham is not more inherently dangerous than other schools. Kids cross 26th and Sycamore everyday. I see them on my commute. Kids cross Carlin Springs. And Glebe. So argue for more safety precautions. But don’t exploit a tragedy in the interest of your convenience. That’s not ok. [/quote]

Thank you for pointing this out. The particular problem there is the bizarre narrowing of Little Falls in the block just in front of Nottingham, which means you have cars parking right against travel lanes that are too narrow to accommodate things like trucks and buses with risking hitting people trying to get in and out of their vehicles, all while bike traffic is merging into vehicle traffic for just that block and people are trying to cross a mid-block crosswalk that drivers sometimes observe and sometimes don't, making traffic flow inconsistent and increasing distractions of people who are paying attention to it. The speed at which people fly through there and the lack of any stop signs along the way to slow down traffic just compounds the problem.
