A few minutes ago I was trying to cross Conz Street at the crosswalk in front of Salvo House where there is a crosswalk and a light to cross. I pushed the button and the lights started flashing. The people heading south out of downtown all stopped, but three cars coming into town did not. They were all going 40 to 50 mph and the people in the last car yelled a profanity at me.
Can the police just once set up a speed trap here? I have cancer and I am a disabled veteran. This is at least the third time I’ve come close to being hit by a car at this crosswalk. It’s like a drag strip out here. Please, Northampton police, do something before someone is killed out here.
