Fwd: Horrific lawsuit pending

[molly B]

We solved the problem by diverting pedestrian traffic to a safer route. 

I am not worried about bottom of the hill, I am watching people put themselves 

in harm’s way at the top of the hill.

Hi Travis

Thank you in advance for coming to the scene at 7 pm afternoon Yesterday .There are no pedestrians walking on the road at this time, which is an excellent time. When the project is shut down during on the weekend, without warning. tourists and pedestrians will not know that there are any obstacles ahead 120 feet away. The flatiron construction unit even ignored pedestrians who would walked in the direction of rockwell st and E. elkhorn ave. Normal people would not walk a long way, crossing the west side of Mollyb, after walking to the west Elkhorn Ave and then crossing the road back to Rockwell or East Elkhorn Ave. Is this correct?   [image0.jpeg] Without the warning ,The construction unit blocked the pedestrian path 120 feet directly in front of the barrier at the main entrance of Mollyb, pushing pedestrians onto an unregulated dangerous road section with high traffic flow and uncontrolled traffic .Did the flatiron engineering unit really consider pedestrian safety? Or is it just a cheap attitude?[image2.jpeg]

Good evening Wu,

I took a look at this sign today and it appears to me as though it is accurately conveying the fact that the sidewalk north of the sign is closed (due to construction on the sidewalk at the intersection of Moraine and Rockwell, see photo below).

There is no way for pedestrians to safely cross Moraine once they get to where the sidewalk is torn up, so the "Sidewalk Closed" sign at the crosswalk just north of your restaurant appears to be appropriately placed, pointing pedestrians to cross Moraine where there is a crosswalk.

Am I missing an issue with the current sign placement?

 Why does the town want to kill prople?Human nature being human nature, people take the path of least resistance.  Flatiron made the wrong decision, and the town and public works and the police supports Flatiron in this dangerous, willfully reckless decision.  Everyday this sign is in the wrong place, you put 100 pedestrians at risk.  When one is hit, who pays for the lawsuit?  We called the police, and they sent two lower level plastic cops for 10 minutes.  Problem not solved, as these videos show.  Let’s use common sense instead of engaging in this meaningless pissing
