Does it take an event like this to make you people slow down and watch out for old folks??!!!
Tragic, May she RIP! But should a 84 year old being trying to cross a street in the Waldorf traffic? I wouldn’t even want to try that and I’m only 70. When the traffic is that heavy, it’s hard to watch for every little thing when you’re trying to watch and keep up with the traffic its self. Again may she R.I.P.
Sad really. Waldorf is so crowded with residents.. Most have cars and many do not. There are Van Go buses but there are few sidewalks to get to the stops. It’s ridiculous that the county, which is one of the more expensive countries in the state, hasn’t coughed up the money to install sidewalks and cross walks along these busy routes.. 301, Old Washington, Smallwood Berry Road…? The list goes on.
