This letter is in response to Carol G. Longfellow's letter in the June 14th Herald, "Yield to pedestrians on Admiral Way."

I just wanted to cheer when I read the article. I have lived on 50th SW for 45 years to cross Admiral at 49th & Admiral. I walk with a cane and one day I stood on that very corner trying to cross in the crosswalk. I decided to see what people were doing as to why they would not stop.

Three people were on cell phones, one was oblivious to someone trying to cross and number 5 did and stopped, Thank you very much!

Excellent article by Carol Longfellow and please call those numbers she included; Mayor 684-4000; City Council 684-8888 and Seattle Department of Transportation 684-7572. We need more funding for pedestrians safety before one of us gets hit.
