A Sea Of Red

Yeah the Annexes need to be gone like ASAP.

Per the N&A, charged with being an unlawful pedestrian

There are no crosswalks or stoplights there, so does jaywalking apply? Unless they were charged for just being stupid and careless.

Apparently..."didn't look both way."

Is the picture of that student waiting to cross the road an accurate depiction of the visibility? If so, there's no excuse for a student getting hit outside of stupidity.

Ive been over that way frequently. on the annex I side, cars are coming off 29 and going about 30 miles per hour (which is a lot faster than some might think). On the annex II side youre slowing down for the on ramp but again, going about 30 and cars close a lot faster than a pedestrian may perceive. he may have looked one way, started crossing and a car may have closed on him and hit him from the other direction.

Stop, look, and listen
Before you cross the street.
Use your eyes. Use your ears.
Then use your feet.

Most of the things we really need to know we learned in kindergarden.

Well................ some of us anyway.

I thought the statement released by Liberty was pretty silly, that they are rushing the construction of the second dorm (at great expense). The assumption must be that all of us will believe that the "rushed construction" will lead to burdensome costs. Maybe, had someone not mentioned that LU has more money than they can spend, such comments from the school wouldn't sound like those of an ill-tempered blowhard.

If they are spending so much extra money to rush the construction, couldn't they have just spent the extra money to put in a crosswalk and a stop light? Obviously I don't know how much more they are having to spend to rush it compared to normal speed + crosswalk/stop light, but food for thought.

They don't own Odd Fellows road. Maybe someone should approach the Odd Fellows, it's been a while since they did something productive for the community.

It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit on University Blvd. IMHO the rate of vehicular speed relative to the amount of foot traffic is excessive. And I've never seen any traffic control. I"m fit...and I feel like I'm in the Frogger video every time I cross over.

I loved Frogger. That and Pitfall

Crossing the street going to or coming from the Liberty Bell bus stop was always an adventure
