I live on the corner of 7th and Washington and we witness car accidents on our corner nearly every weekend. I’m glad there is a big tree on the corner of our lot to buffer our house from on-coming cars. It is actually not a dangerous intersection unless people are driving too fast.

We have set up a blog http://www.safetyonseventh.blogspot.com. As a Seventh Street resident we share Mr. Leeser’s frustrations about safety on Seventh St. and all over Ann Arbor. As former California residents, we are accustomed to residential streets being treated as residential streets. Ann Arbor must get out of the dark ages and improve its traffic safety laws. Our current crosswalk ordinance does not actually give pedestrians a true right-of-way. Cars speed and run crosswalks at-will throughout Ann Arbor. It is particularly egregious on Seventh which for over 150 years has been a 100% residential street. At some point lax enforcement has allowed it to become a virtual freeway.
