I live in this neighborhood, and the situation from Forbes down to the freeway is Bad. Crossing Braddock is often taking your life into your own hands. It sucks.

There are laws and there are law enforcers. What the article fails to include in the discussion is that it's the responsibility of this city's police to consistently enforce rules such as speed limits so that the sustained emphasis on compliance ensures a continually improving environment, or in this case drivers on Braddock respecting the speed limit, and watching out for pedestrians and ALWAYS giving them the right of way. Without vigilance, driver-related behavior just seems to get worse and more selfish and people get hurt and sometimes die. Enough.

Left to their own devices many drivers, like children, will try to get away with whatever they can. Seems like some need the threat of imposed fines or strikes on their license to act civilly. Perhaps ticket quotas from the new chief of police will encourage officers to do their jobs.

When I was notified by Mary Tremont that my poster was to be removed, the reason given was thus: "...the gallery curator saw it and said that everything in the gallery has to be 'family friendly..."

One should ask the curator what that means, not me.
