What do we have to do to get some kind of safety/speed controls/mechanisms in
place at the intersection of North and Diamond streets?? Hello, Norfolk
Police Dept... how about getting a radar out here?? And Butch, how about
it...? We need some help on this corner!!
The other day, while I was driving on North St. towards the Audubon
Sanctuary, I almost hit a runner who was running towards me on the road, on the inside
of the curve at the intersection of Diamond and North Streets. Now, I was
driving really slowly... I hate that curve. There was no way that I could have
seen her coming... it is lucky for both of us that there were no oncoming
cars and I was able to pull over to the left side of the road... on the blind
curve... it was hairy to say the least. For all you runners, please... do not
run towards the on coming traffic on that curve/corner... it is way too
dangerous! Cross the street before the intersection and run on the outside of the
curve.
On top of that scare, the amount of dead animals/road kill that I find on
North St. in the mornings when I try to walk my dogs down Diamond Street is
awful! People, slow the .... down!! Those are living creatures "you", whoever
you are, you know who, are killing!! If you can't slow down for a chipmonk
or a squirrel, how do you know you could slow down for a small child that
might run into the road after a ball, or someone's pet dog or cat that might run
out of a yard? "You" are obviously driving too fast! No excuses... I am
getting really weary of jumping too close to poison ivy in order to avoid
speeding cars myself!!! If "your" lives are so stressful that killing small
animals and frightening pedestrians is a fair price to pay for getting somewhere
fast... perhaps "you" might want to re-assess some of your life choices...
like now!
Thank you.
