When this first happened, it was reported that he was crossing in the middle of the street, but from the picture, it looks like that area needs a traffic light or a stop sign.
it’s called 94th and 92nd street crosswalk. clearly not from here
The bike lanes!!!!’we must remove them NOW
Umm, and what do bike lanes have to do with this poor man who was crossing in the crosswalk with the light? There are no bike lanes at this location, and a bicycle had NOTHING to do with this. You’re just a troll who gets other bike haters to jump on your bandwagon, so sad….
are u even from here? plain and simple he jaywalked and it’s unfortunate that this was the turnout. the only crosswalks are 92nd and 94th.
