The important point is to improve the community by making it safer for pedestrians.
reported on the death of Pritesh Patel at the corner of Mushroom Hill Road and US 322. I am sorry for the family’s loss. The main reason I am writing is that I find it unconscionable that, given the proximity of dozens of stores to a densely populated residential area, there is no safe way for pedestrians to cross US 322 in that location.
There are a lot of accidents at that corner, and I often see pedestrians attempting to cross to get to and from the stores at Swatara Square. Some people cannot or are not allowed to drive. The whole area seems designed for “drivers only.” I don’t know who is responsible for this or where to start, but I see examples of this car-focused mentality all over our region. It is time for transportation authorities and municipal, state, and federal leaders to address this type of hazard region-wide.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
