like it’s always a bit of a gamble picking someone new.Topic: Speeding cars on SW Genesse
I’m sorry to be a complainer, but has anyone else observed how people, particularly during morning and evening rush hour, are treating the portion of SW Genesee between Delridge Way and Avalon as their personal racetrack? I’m not so lame that I would sit there with a radar gun to prove my point, but I have eyes and can judge speed as well as the next guy, and can tell the difference between 25mph and 45mph. This wouldn’t be too serious except the north side of the street is all residential, including the 30th Ave SW bus stops for the 50. I’ve had to dodge people who were both speeding and felt no obligation to stop for people getting off the bus, and have seen others having to do the same. There’s no protected crosswalk there(just the pedestrian ramps) and no real way to safely get across the street to access to depart the bus stops. Anyone else having this experience?
