Speak Out: Do You Feel Unsafe at 16th St. and Spring St. Crosswalk?

Think back to the last time you crossed 16th Street at Spring Street on foot—did oncoming cars see you coming? 

Linda Suzuki, a Silver Spring resident who's lived in Falkland Chase apartments for 10 years, told the Gazette that the most southern crosswalk at that intersection is unsafe for pedestrians, particularly ones who have dogs in tow. 

She's contacted the State Highway Administration, the owners of 16th Street, to see about improving the crosswalk, the newspaper reports. 

“Instead of watching for pedestrians, [drivers] are looking all the way across to turn left, looking in the complete opposite direction of the pedestrians," Suzuki said.
