Even better, my 25% decrease in accidents along the Cental Ave. corridor will now be at 24.75%. Just think, we are still looking good as far as the Central Ave. corridor.

The circumstances are remarkably similar in each case and contrary to driver inattention which is the ridiculous notion town administrator Jim Gildea puts forth, the actual reason for all the accidents is nobody knows what the heck to do when they find themselves as motorists having to make a split second decision and there is all this nonsense going on in such a limited section of the road. Here are just a few examples of what could go through a drivers mind when they're approaching this stretch of Central, i.e., Was that a light? Did I just run a red light? Is that a road or is that a driveway? Can I go around this car making a left onto Clover? What do these giant white stripes mean? Now that the red light has disappeared can I go now? Is this a crosswalk in the middle of this busy street? Who the heck put this light straddling this private driveway? Who is this mad woman out here yelling at me to call the mayor? I could go on and on but I'm hoping you're getting the gist. Now that we've had 4 accidents in only six months I hope you all realize the next accident could be you or your neighbor or your loved one or Mayor Skibitsky for that matter. Get rid of the stupid light. It causes accidents. What more proof is needed? Bodily injury? Is that what it's going to take Westfield?

If any of the owners were to consult with an attorney and it is discovered that the Town moved the light against the recommendationts of their engineer, well then could the town be held liable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092698870812368405.post-84281523697454592922011-10-27T18:22:47.152-04:002011-10-27T18:22:47.152-04:00Has there been any other location in town where mo...Has there been any other location in town where more accidents have occurred since the time the light was installed?<br /><br />If not, the answer is clear no matter what the mayor, Gildea or any study says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
