My answer to the letter from the reader: I see it's placed at the edge of said crosswalk on the limit line of the Sharrow (bike lane). How are people hitting it if they are driving BETWEEN the lines as they are supposed to? There's most likely no reason to merge into the Sharrow (bike lane) at this point. It's amazing how bad people drive, developing habits they've had for YEARS. And the State Legislature keeps wanting to give licenses to illegal, undocumented folks....yeah, that'll make it better.
