A recent article in the Post Crescent noted that “the Appleton Police Department is using grant money to concentrate on bike and pedestrian safety in the downtown and Lawrence University areas.” This seems like a very good thing — we want library users to stay safe. The article went on to remind us that not only must vehicles yield to pedestrians who have entered the crosswalk but that state laws say a pedestrian may not enter a crosswalk unless there is enough distance for a vehicle to safely yield.
So — don’t forget to give cars enough time to yield. We want to see you back in the Mudd.
