Editor, I appreciate your recent article and attention to the issue of pedestrian safety. I believe this is an important issue, both on main and north campus. As a staff member and student, I spend quite a bit of time walking on campus. I would like to point out two other crosswalks that I feel are dangerous for those of us on north campus.
