Reply to comment by nauraug in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica
Have to agree. Pre-pandemic I drove during the day for work through or near the Monroe Park area fairly frequently, like two or three times a month, for years. People do drive too fast and drive distracted. I’ve seen it many times. However I’ve also witnessed students walking between cars right into traffic, wearing ear buds or looking at their phones while they do so. I’ve seen several near misses, either from driver or pedestrian inattention. I feel terrible for the student who got killed. I would love to see some speed bumps and other traffic calming items put in place. The area is lovely and vibrant due to the students. I just hate that it can be so dangerous as well.
