<P>Remember also that pedestrians legally crossing at intersections always have
the right-of-way. Do not pull in front of or behind them or to "hurry them
along" - wait until they are out of the intersection. Elderly and disabled
pedestrians may require extra time to complete their crossings.</P>

<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have noticed the huge amount of pedestrian crosswalks in the city.
With gas prices at $2.50 a gallon it is time to cut the number of
crosswalks, where traffic must stop solely for a pedestrian, by at least
half and you probably could cut 2/3 and still have adequate crosswalks.
Every time you cause a 4,000 vehicle to stop it wastes gas and pollutes
the air. Think of all the trucks that have to stop at the same
crossings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I particularly noticed on 3rd street between Hayes St. and Line St.
there are 15 crosswalks not including the 3 stoplights between them. In
the main part of town there are 4 crosswalks on Jackson and 9 on
Washington St. in addition to 2 stop lights on both streets. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There will be some who whine that we need to have them for our
college students but these college students aren't paying my gas bills.
This situation just adds more unnecessary costs to the cost of living in
Moscow which is already very high. They can learn to cross where there is
a light to get to the downtown area. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope you will look into this situation and right after school lets
out next month would be an excellent time to implement this. </DIV>
