Kim Summerlot celebrates her birthday on Sunday. Give her your best wishes . . . Mary Ann Furedi and Rick May have added some flowering plants to the greenery on the Forster Street median in the 200 block . . . I rather like the new signs that warn pedestrians of the number of seconds they have to cross an intersection. In some instances the time allotted would make us Olympian Gold Medalists in track. A fellow with a cane or walker is certainly taking his life into his own hands . . . Crossing Forster Street is especially perilous for anyone, not just the elderly. Motorists speeding down the Camp Hill By-Pass and flying across Taylor Bridge forget that they are now in the city and not on an expressway especially when the lights at Front and Second are in their favor. There have been numerous accidents on this stretch (Bob was a victim) and at least one pedestrian death that I can remember . . . I have long advocated that the reduction in speed limit to 35 or less should begin at the Wormleysburg entrance, not at the Front Street exit, on the bridge. And somewhere in the middle should be a large sign announcing traffic lights ahead . . . (Click picture to enlarge.) . . .
