Photo story of HP roundabout/traffic circle hazards for blind pedestrians
by janet jai 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Hi, folks, I had to shrink the photos to make this e-mail hopefully listserv size. I suggest you expand on your screen to really see them. jai Photo 1 shows Mia Boccella, a Highland Park resident who is legally blind. She and her guide dog are approaching the intersection with a roundabout/traffic circle at Callowhill and N. Euclid, preparing to cross. Photos 2 & 3 show Mia and her dog at the curb. This is where their training mandates that they stop in order to cross safely. Photo 4: While I was doing this photography, a PAT bus (driving carefully) came up the street and around the intersection. I took Photo 4 immediately after the bus had passed. This shows how far Mia and her dog had to back away from the curb to be safe while the bus passed. Photo 5 is a side view of how far from the curb Mia and her guide dog had to stand to be safe. N. Euclid is just not wide enough for these roundabouts/traffic circles to be safe for pedestrians. Even as a sighted pedestrian, I back up when a largish vehicle comes around the curve. These could be disastrous for a blind pedestrian. jai P.S. The lack of stop signs, which used to be at this intersection, also makes crossing more dangerous.

Do you need moving boxes?
by THOMAS WATERS 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

We have a bunch (4+) boxes that wine is shipped in. They are a great size for moving, and have finger “holes” that make them easier to carry. These are the size that hold 12 or 15 or 18 bottles so they are big, but not too big. They are in perfect shape. I’ve been keeping them for a while, in case I needed for stiorage, but time to let them go. If you can use them, please email me and I’ll send you the address. Otherwise, we will be breaking them down to recycle them. -- Thomas Waters thomaswaters(a)mac.com "When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love." Martin Luther King Jr.

Stop sign fell down or wax taken at corner of neglect and Hampton and cars are running the 4 way stop. I’ve called 911 but I thought I’d get the word out until they fix it. -Joanna Elsas 412-973-1847 Sent from my iPhone
