As residents at the intersection of Yale and Cornell avenues, we read with interest about discussions of accidents and safety measures at the recent Public Safety Committee meeting. Recitations of accidents “proportional to traffic volume,” hedges trimmed within allowable limits, and signage about cars ahead not stopping seemed, if we may, out of proportion to our experiences and observations of what happens at this intersection.
While it may be true the line of hedges at the corner of Yale and Cornell meets the code in terms of height, it still represents a tremendous blind spot in crossing at that intersection.
I have a new pet peeve, and it’s not trivial — in fact it could be life or death. It concerns the relatively new pedestrian crosswalk lights installed at key, busy Swarthmore intersections. They are not working as intended, and the answer is simple.
