Please post this in every BMG building!! I'm tired of having these guys just walk into the street expecting everyone to stop! They don't even look before crossing! Its as if Chief of Police gave them the right of way!
I am upset that when I was crossing Hillside Ave. in Westgate with three little kids at the crosswalk, no one slowed down. I didn't cross just a car was coming, I waited until there were no cars near the crosswalk, and then when I was in the middle cars kept coming and driving right by.
