I live at 2505 Capital Drive and have for close <br />to twenty years. No doubt that the street signs have it right "It's not safe." That is the best but not the only valid <br />objection. In any case I know from long experience that all of the access roads are throttled when it comes to <br />passing traffic. There is no access up the hill, other than 27th as far as Spring, where two passing cars and a <br />pedestrian can safely be on the road. There are no sidewalks in many areas and particularly on the primary <br />access, Spring and Capital Drive from Fairmont to the top of Capital, no easy way for a pedestrian to step off <br />the street or out of the way. There are many blind corners also. I fear for pedestrians who walk on the blind <br />side of curves and often only luck and low volume gets them safe passage. <br />When I first moved here I thought this is a recipe for many accidents. I've been surprised but I have come to <br />realize that many accidents are avoided only because many drivers here are long experienced with the roads and <br />exercise the abundance of caution that compensates for those who drive unaware, not an insubstantial <br />number. And, the moderate volume of traffic mitigates the danger. Never-the-less I have been hit in my car on <br />two occasions on Spring, and I am an experienced driver on these streets who is very cautious. On one occasion <br />my car was totaled. <br />Sincerely, <br />Christopher M. Ogle <br />
