Description

This new configuration is a safety hazard for pedestrians who are turning right onto 81st Ave SE and coming from 81st Ave SE to go north on SE 24th Street. The old configuration had a sidewalk to the edge of 81st. Now people who are turning right need to either walk over dirt/grass (whatever will be there) or dangerously dart into the road to get around the dirt/grass. This is especially dangerous because there is a bike lane to to the left of this photo and I am highly concerned that people who are turning right onto 81st Ave SE will not stop and look behind them before walking out into the road, as I did without thinking right after I took this photo! This is a perfect set up for a bike/car-pedestrian collision. For the safety of people that live in the area , please allow us to walk to the corner of 81st without walking out into the road/bike lane.
