The corner of Government and Queens @ the 3 way stop & yield has been one a death trap for cyclists & pedestrians. The bike lines has faded due to people crossing over line. I counted 1 vehicle out of 35 vehicles that did not cross over the bike line. A woman, a couple of weeks ago was hit while riding her E bike. The bike was in a ball and woman had head injuries & was bleeding terribly.
When district was called they responded saying there was nothing they could do until July!
Today I witnessed a mother pushing a stroller and was almost hit by a big grey truck!
You would think cones or something would be put out!
I actually bought spray calk to do lines myself but that only lasts so long.
I guess someone has to actually die to have something done!

Hopefully it will be done soon, BEFORE someone gets hurt!
