It's enforcement time again, but this time undercover/plainclothes. While the majority of slugs now cross at the intersection (and most wait for the light), there are more and more slugs crossing in the middle of the road again.

It ticks me off how some think their time is more valuable than others and that the rules don't apply to them.

Note to you jaywalkers - since I do pickup from Bob's on occasion, and am good at remembering faces, I'm not giving you a ride. That applies even if you're the only one in line and it's 10 degrees outside.

(there, i feel better now...)

Well, there were two cars there around 6:15 this AM and within 5 minutes of my being in line, they nabbed a jaywalker.

I was there this morning for about 10 min. No one crossed the street (funny how now all the slugs walk up in mass from the light, must have been 20-25 all at the same time. Was pretty funny.

However, LAST NIGHT when I dropped off, I sat and watched like 30 people run right across the street. What good is morning enforcement without the same evening enforcement? What does that accomplish other then to try and shut down the morning slug line?

OHHHH!!!! Darn, man my conspiracy theories gene is kicking in. I just don't get the enforcement effort which seems like such a waste. Unless someone is trying to close down the stop. Just got me a little...hmmmm!!!

Around 6:30 one casually strolled across (making cars stop for him) and another sprinted across. One guy crossed to the median from the Springfield Plaza side of OKM, then walked the median toward the crosswalk for a while before he crossed.

As we passed Bob's this morning, we had 4 in the Grand Marq already from our carpool rendezvous in Burke. We were early and passed the Bob's slug line location about 6:10. We noticed one lady slug standing there, but didn't see if or how she crossed OKM.

You weren't there at 6:30 then...

And neither were drivers. Is it the early fall vacation season already?

Didn't see a single jaywalker or police cruiser at Bob's this morning.
Something must be happening!

I agree that the best long term solution is to move the line to a designated commuter/park and ride location.

Backlick, the Mall, wherever that's safe for all. I side benefit might be that more riders and drivers go to Rolling Valley - there's plenty of both that live in Burke and West Springfield who opt for Bob's due to the lack of riders and/or drivers at RV.
