Deskripsyon

There is a pedestrian bridge from the Metro station (S of RI Ave) to the N of RI ave, E of the rail tracks.

Instead of walking down the bridge, under the (unsafe, poorly lit, tiny sidewalked) rail bridge, over a block and up a big hill (also with tiny sidewalks), HUNDREDS of people per day jump over the side of the pedestrian bridge, up a hill, around the rail fence, onto a LEDGE (12 inches and 40 feet above the ground?!!!), cross the tracks and go to the shopping center.

If it hasn't already, someone is going to get hurt or killed, and I can bet it will be a kid or teenager.

When hundreds of people per day are risking their lives to save 10 minutes and avoid a creepy area, something needs to be done NOW! I heard there is some long-term plan, but please do it now!

Thanks for closing, I get what you mean, but it doesn't actually address the pedestrian connectivity issue, and the new bridge isn't supposed to be complete until late 2011, which is troubling.

They installed a fence so now everyone goes under the bridge which is very poorly lit. They cross illegally over a 1,500 foot span of road because there is no crosswalk where everyone needs one - at the bottom of the metro staircase and in front of the church. Not only is it dangerous to those pedestrians but it messes with traffic and can cause accidents. Fix this! Just put in a crosswalk w/ blinking yellow light like at Florida and R NW. (This kind of light is needed at 3rd and 4th St crossings of RIA NE as well, because drivers refuse to let people cross at those crosswalks.

We need MPD to enforce the crosswalk laws. Ticket these bad drivers. It'll teach 'em.

Pedestrian bridge was installed in 2014, solving this problem.
