I just returned from walking my dogs through our neighborhood, and I am still upset.
Since we have no sidewalks, that leaves us walking on the street. There was no other traffic except for one approaching car. My dogs and I hugged the left side of the road, but still this driver never budged an inch to give us a little leeway. Had either of my dogs veered the least bit, they would have been hit and killed, not to mention my own danger in attempting to share the street with this driver.
We could use an article in the newsletter to remind all drivers of the need for courtesy toward pedestrians as well as cyclers.
We should be able to enjoy our neighborhoods, not fear the traffic.
Thank you.
