The planners seem to have flip flopped on this as I was sure they had already voted in previous months to ensure sidewalks would be needed for the Diamond Credit Union. <br />We made some strides in getting the crosswalk and sidewalks to the new shopping center, but the developer only did the minimum. Walking there can be done, but as you say once there let pedestrians beware! That said please do use the crosswalk and sidewalk. . . we walk there most Thur or Fridays to eat out. . . with 3 children!<br /><br />Jeremy Slonaker<br />Treasurer, WalkBikeBerksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515357856458166648.post-50516846203886729652009-10-09T10:58:55.009-04:002009-10-09T10:58:55.009-04:00I think it is outrageous that I have to drive my 3...I think it is outrageous that I have to drive my 3 children to school everyday because the school/township will not do ANYTHING about the dangerous roads here in Exeter. It was noted that Exeter officials whom WORK FOR US think that the roads are TOO DANGEROUS for people to walk, yet they keep allowing new developing/shopping for convience but will not make it safe for us to get there....even driving in the new Target shopping center is not safe! I live 5 seconds from it and I have to waste gas and POLLUTE the air to go over there! When I bought my house in March 2008, 47th st (where I live) was not high traffic, so not having sidewalks was not an issue....now because of the new shopping center, not only do we have high traffice, we have speeding. My kids cannot even walk to their bus stop without being honked at because drivers are confused as to why they are walking there in the first place! Why did Exeter not consider the elderly whom cannot drive? Why did Exeter not consider the teenagers whom walk to work at Target shopping center? Why did Exeter not consider the moms that want to get exercise with their children? Why did exeter only consider themselves when they put sidewalks on Demoss Rd so THEY can can take stroll during their lunch hour?<br /><br /> Casey AlcornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
