re: Corner of 7th and Walnut
Our office moved to the corner of 7th and Walnut in April 1994. In that time we have
witnessed two wrecks, several near misses and an indefinite number of cars going the
wrong way once 7th street becomes one way at Walnut. (On an average, there is at
least 4 cars each day that travel up 7th going the wrong way). By the way, one-of our
Partners was in an accident at this same intersection in 93.
There is a one way sign at the intersection, but it can only be seen if you are coming
up seventh street (while it is two lane) before it becomes one lane at Walnut Street.
I am not sure what the solution is but I think someone needs to address this matter.
Thank you,
Christy/L. Miley /
