Crosswalk

According to New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws, jaywalking may not be the crime of convenience we all thought it was, except in one specific situation...

The picture started quickly trending yesterday on Facebook of the beautiful change made to a Central Ave crosswalk to celebrate love of all kinds.

I live near the area where a young girl who was crossing the street last year, in the crosswalk, was struck and killed. It was a horribly sad story and now lawmakers, the DOT and Cohoes are all doing their part to make it safer for all.

On May 24, Borziloke Zakolli was struck by a car and killed while crossing Central Avenue in Colonie. On June 16, Brittany Knight was struck by a car and killed while crossing intersection of Bridge Avenue on 787. With tragedy comes change.
