Kristin is absolutely correct about the HORRIBLE job RIPTA did to downtown Bristol. Speeding has increased and there are NO crosswalks that can currently be seen with the fading white paint of only a few months ago. There should be 4 crosswalks at every intersection and get rid of the bus pull-ins. Do they geniuses at RIPTA expect cars to pull around into oncoming traffic to get around the temporary stop?

Let me guess. The government is going to come in a solve the problem that they created but only if enough people complain. I have commented more than once on this issue but nobody will care until someone gets hurt. Then the mighty political class will step up to save you.

Go ahead and keep promoting the benefits of visiting Bristol while making no safe walking areas. Everyone should hope that a driver is not reaching for their wallet while walking thru the very dangerous Downtown Bristol.
