The Department of Transportation asked me what I thought it would take to get motorists on Admiral Way Southwest to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. I said, "a push-button light at 47th Ave. S.W. or speed bumps, or a brick wall!" Well, we didn't get any of that - but they did give us four new wheelchair cuts and brought the west side curb out three feet to narrow the crossing at the intersection of 48th Ave. S.W. and Admiral Way. Let's pray it works!

Please understand that it is the law that you stop for pedestrians at crosswalks-marked or not.

I will be crossing in my red jacket on my red scooter - so please give me a brake! And wave, don't give me the finger; give me a smile, not a glare. Drive nice! Remember Tatsuo Nakata!
