<DIV>I would like to urge Moscow city, business leaders, and student
leaders to take up the cause of creating an "Adopt a Crosswalk Flag"
program like so many other cities the United States have already to
prevent these types of easily avoidable accidents.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is cheap, easy, raises awareness, and increases pedestrian
safety.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"The idea is simple. Place a <U>container of flags</U> at each end of
the crosswalk and instruct pedestrians to carry one with them while
crossing. The brightly colored flags benefit pedestrians by making them
more visible to drivers and the simple act of holding one alerts drivers
that the pedestrian has a desire and intent to cross the street."</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This works in the cities that use them, and I am sure the city
government, ASUI, and local businesses have the means of buying some
brightly colored flags, sticks, staples, and containers to put them
in. It is also less expensive and quicker than getting approval
from the state government to build an over the road bridge.</DIV>

vAlign=top>If they decide not to put in a raised pedestrian
crosswalk or a light, I'd rather they put up a fence along the
entire stretch between the two lights (obviously except for where
the road is) so as to force the students to cross at a light.
That would also entail taking out the pathway that leads in that
direction.<BR><BR>Not my first choice for a solution, but it's
