[quote=Anonymous]I wasn’t an eyewitness to the hit and run being discussed here, but I have been living, driving, walking, and biking through that intersection for close to 20 years. 
It’s extremely dangerous due to the short intersection on Upshur between Kansas and Georgia, and it’s on the diagonal which seems to glitch everyone’s brain. Add to that the foot and bike traffic from the library and the 2 schools that are just a block north, it’s absolute chaos from 3:15-6pm. 
I have written JLG about this intersection multiple times. The kids run into the street, ride the e-bikes like they have no cares in the world while drivers run red lights trying to make it through without having to stop for another cycle. 
The whole thing in a constant accident waiting to happen and yet there’s never been crossing guards anywhere. For a moment they had “safe passage” people working there but they mostly just sat on the brick ledge by the library. 
This was preventable and my heart goes out to the family.
