Just a reminder: These are the folks making unnavigable J-turns and ped "safety" islands without protective barriers or ped-activated lights.

Thx for the reminder Bob.  

FWIW: Here’s a copy of an email I just sent to John Martin, MDOT’s Complete Street/ CSS guy) yesterday and submitted via the only feedback form on MDOT’s site (their pothole report form):

Hi John,

Hope you’re enjoying summer so far.

In recent years, I’ve noticed that the pedestrian crossing markings on M-43 do not get repainted very often.  I’ve also noticed that the fog line paint markings have recently been repainted along M43 in our area.  

I finally took photos on my ride home this evening through East Lansing and into Meridian Township along M43.   I’ve seen official data that says walking and biking in East Lansing is some of the highest numbers in the country likely due to the MSU campus being on the south side of M43. 

How can MDOT seemingly ignore basic safety facilities for pedestrians?

I finally found the time to complete this MDOT VRU survey only to find out that their comment boxes for "Other" ideas/ suggestions were limited to 255 characters.  That's like one sentence.

What a joke.  Very disrespectful of those of us who give these things serious consideration and thought.  All they apparently want are atta-boys and other such hot air comments.

I'm so sick of trying to get thru to anyone in MDOT who truly cares about VRU's.

Tim Potter

PS:  Still haven't rec'd a response from John nor anyone else at MDOT after sending my last email and photos which were pretty on point I'd say.
