Pedestrianism - really State of RI? WHERE THEN, have all of our north/ south crosswalks gone? there are NONE between Constitution St and as far north as Bradford where many of us cross to bring kids to school right there. WHy? does no one intend to walk north or south along Hope St. any more? the corner by Citizens Bank is particularly bad with traffic turning up state st very often and with MANY people crossing there (Often again, to bring kids to and from the school in the next block) and there is often DANGEROUS confusion at this particular crossing. Bring back our crosswalks, please. HURRY. it's dangerous on Hope St. and YES we all walk north/ south along the street.

I wont even get into where the East/West crosswalks went. A few remain but still not enough. it's a busy pedestrian town. Give us back the safety of crosswalks and ditch some bus stops.

SHOW US that pedestrianism is a priority by acting on these problems.
