LETTER: Guest editorial spot on for pedestrian safety

To the Telegram:

I’d like to comment and say thank you regarding the guest editorial “Pedestrian safety is driver’s obligation too” written by John Kolstad and printed in the Superior Telegram on March 21.

His letter was ‘spot on’ regarding situations which have also happened to me. I walk daily and have been cut off several times while trying to cross the street with the pedestrian light lit; once by a delivery truck and once by a school bus. I’ve discovered that when the light changes to “walk”, one must wait and look again to your left so you don’t get hit from the driver making a right turn.

I might add that parking lots are also dangerous. While walking out of the grocery store with a grocery cart, I was hit by a pickup truck. I wasn’t injured but one must always be alert to possible situations.

Mary Sweeney,

Superior
