i like the idea of the improvement of the double crosswalk. currently most of these islands, we could not get to the intersection because of the crowds. like market street. when we board on the island or get off the island and there are crowds in front of the intersection, we just wait patiently but having this improvement will be great and better factor market street to have double crosswalks. and this observation, i noticed that most of these don't have guard rails. you know, parentally market street had guard rails to guide them and once they get off the bus, they don't know where to go and they have an aid as a guard rail that will be helpful and also for safety. people tend to want to jaywalk anyway. so anyway, i just kind of throw that in for the time being. i'm sure we'll have further discussion about it. thank you. >> councilmember kostanian? >> hi. one of the things when i do go out. i don't go out very often, but when i do go out and have a chance to go to some of the neighborhoods and/or to the park, i still see bikes and skateboarde

if they are not already in the crosswalk, the countdown is more so for the people in the crosswalk tellinghem how much time they have to get to the other side. it's not an indicator for a person who is on the sidewalk to try to rush across the street with four seconds left. >> and a cup of coffee, right? sheryl, i don't know how you feel about this, you rode your bike here. a bike share. >> yeah, i rode a bike share from work. there's rules for every mode of travel. we have rules for cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, best case scenario, we follow the rules and we're all safe. worst case, nobody follows, and that happens in a lot of cities. we have to make sure you can accommodate somebody else's mistake or somebody else's lapse of attention. if you're going more slowly in a car, more slowly on a bike, paying attention as a pedestrian, everybody has a chance to recover from that era. the bus i was on this morning, a car stopped right in front of her to let a passenger out. thankfully, you know, the mark on market street, the driver paid attention, she stopped. the pmassengers were holding on.

mission taylor currently is lacking the crosswalk. there was road work approximately four weeks ago and the lines weren't painted back on. there's one line currently painted where the stop light is, looking like a stop point, not a barrier between cars on both sides like it should. it is incredibly dangerous. and for somebody who was hit in that crosswalk when its was officially pain painted with two, i find it quite scary to have to walk through and see others have to walk through it, the total black street because of the lack of efficiency in city planning ~. people are virtually walking in the middle of the street and there's no way the driver would be able to tell where the crosswalk starts or ends as it currently appears. i have taken photos of this document. this is one of my points. [speaker not understood] how much has it already cost everyone involved with what happened to me and how much more will be sucked into another pedestrian being hit there? let's be preventive, people. let's make the streets safer so people can walk a

keep this in mind, you can get a ticket even if you just cross the crosswalk when there is no trafficoming. that's still considered breaking the law. they don't want to do it, but this is a safety measure, one police think is very, very important. it's not something that is going to cost you a lot of time. we repeatedly tested the buttons today. it never took longer than 13 seconds to get the lights to safely across this intersection. joce sterman, abc~7 news. >> still to come on abc 7 news at 5:00, the president could get a new address? if one d.c. councilwoman gets her way. >> a diamond in the ruff found at one local store. >> the purchase that has some students excited and >> you're watching abc 7 news at 5:00 on your side. >> let's get another check of where the storms are. >> our meteorologist stephen tschida is tracking it all from the weather center tonight. >> the strongest storms now well to the east of d.c. you can see them moving across the delmarva peninsula, however a few more storms beginning to develop just to the west of us. look at marshal. these are stronger thunders
