Carr worked on pedestrian safety

Wednesday, May 17, 2006

I would like to commend Kensington Councilman Al Carr on his efforts to improve pedestrian safety in Kensington.

I live in the Kensington House Apartment, which for 40 years lacked a direct sidewalk connection to the shopping area less than a block away. Elderly residents like me as well as families had to walk in the street to reach the nearby post office or to buy a loaf of bread at the convenience store.

Councilman Carr took the initiative to propose building a sidewalk connection and successfully lobbied his council colleagues to implement it.

Small improvements like this one make a big difference in our safety and quality of life. Thank you Councilman Carr.

Dick Williams, Kensington
