Like I had questioned about the bump-outs------how and why did such
things, as you described come into play.......Perhaps-more efficient traffic
control by some means is probably needed....as well as enforced......An
accident of sorts---could very well happen, unfortunately.....Howie

Hi all,
I sat outside at Three Sisters last Wednesday around 6 pm, as the farmer's
market was winding up. I'm sorry to report that I saw several
near-tragedies at the crosswalk at the very start of Blackstone Blvd, just past the
triangle at Hope and Chace. Drivers traveling south on Hope St typically speed
up when bearing left onto the Blvd, to avoid oncoming traffic. They're
going pretty fast when they arrive--almost immediately--at the first
crosswalk, which they don't notice ahead of time. It seems certain that someone is
going to get mowed down there at some point.
