Letter: ‘I have a concern’

I would like to address a couple problems here on campus: First is I hit a young man on a skate board. He had his music on and didn’t even look and crossed right in front of me. Luckily I wasn’t going very fast or he would have been seriously injured. It has become such a problem, I felt the need to say something. I am aware that the pedestrians have the right of way… however they need to be just as aware of me as I am of them. But this is not what is happening. They are looking at their phone or talking or just plain not paying attention and never stop, never look and just walk right out. Someone is going to get hurt!

The second problem is on Champ Drive. Students are not observing the 15 MPH signs and are going super-fast.. way over the speed limit… with students not watching and other students speeding.. there is going to be a bad accident and someone is going to be seriously hurt.

I don’t know if this even will make an impact, but felt something needed to be said.
