The 600 block of East College Avenue at Penn State is a place where cars drive too quickly too often and students using the sidewalk are offered little protection. The recent accident which occurred on December 2, 2006--when a student was hit by a car on this stretch of road--show that safety measures need to be added to the road to make it safer for pedestrian use. Among them are: 1) add a guardrail to the end of the sidewalk, 2) add speedbumps and/or rumble strips to the strip of road just before the turn in the eastbound lanes, 3) remove the eastbound lane closest to University Gateway and the Meridians and extend the sidewalk, 4) construct a raised and enclosed walkway connecting Eastview and the 600 block. By signing this petition, I am asking the powers that be at Penn State and Centre County to help bring about these changes.

December 8, 2006

The growth in this petition demonstrates that a clear mandate for safety now exists. I have sent the formal request for a meeting with the Centre County planning office to discuss the proposed structural changes.

Ridiculous how fast cars go thru there. Need speed bumps asap.

My roommate was crossing there last semester and it was terrifying. Definitely needs a guardrail or a walkway. Do not wait for another accident.

Seriously? Just put in the guardrail. Its not that hard and it might actually save a life.

I walk this everyday to class and I swear people treat it like a racetrack. Some idiot almost hit me last week. Fix it before someone actually gets killed.

Cars come around that turn way to fast for a place with this many students walking around.

Way too dangerous. Why does it take a serious accident for them to listen?? Just do something already.
