I mentioned late last week that there was a new crosswalk spanning the driveway at Hawthorne’s train station, a rare moment in the former hamlet of Hummerville where pedestrians score some rights over the almighty automobile.
Well, that crosswalk isn’t the half of it. It’s more like the third of it, in fact. Yes, riding home after a mega-rainstorm Friday, I encountered another so-new-the-paint-is-wet crosswalk, this one spanning a very treacherous stretch of Elwood Ave going across Rte. 141.
Moments later, I came across yet another crosswalk on Chelsea and Memorial, not far from the elementary school.
To Town Hall, and the highway folks, and the Department of New Crosswalks, and everyone else involved in the project, we say thank you on behalf of the few hardy souls who actually walk in Hawthorne.
