On today's run we witness what is a frequent sighting in the Rivertowns - pedestrians frantically crossing Broadway because it lacks crosswalks or has long wait times, as well as a rolling stop at the intersection of Cedar & Main St.

8 cars passed without stopping as I inched further and further out into the road. The 9th car finally stopped to let me cross. This is the intersection of Broadway and Clinton/Oak in Dobbs Ferry.

Overly excited to try out the GoPro that has been lent to me for this project, I went on my first trial run and was able to capture some good examples of pedestrian safety issues. See what I was able to capture on my trial run!

I used to not run in the winter at all. To be clear, I strongly dislike all things winter. I eventually had a child, and to maintain my sanity found overcoming my long rooted hatred of winter running was needed for survival. Read more for how I win at winter running.

The Rivertowns are based along the hillside of the Hudson River with sharp, blind turns, steeply graded hills, and many distracted and speedy drivers. In addition to my local experiences as a runner, I live along a major roadway with my jewelry studio facing a dangerous intersection that puts pedestrians and motorists lives at peril daily. And I’ve had enough.
