7:29 pm Michael Marks talking about raised crosswalks, polls on safety and how residents have been urged to phone or e mail Marks with concerns.

7:32 pm Vehicles parking on sidewalks, safe routes to school...

Stop lights out of order

crosswalks, a majority of them, still not painted

More lighting in many parts of the community, in particular some of the business districts.

Late night solicitors not allowed except for religious groups or political speech.

Marks says that Verizon and Comcast go back and forth with people looking for customers.

Marks feels "Safety could be like the wind; it is important that we stay on top of this."
