    We need safe pedestrian and bike crossings over Route 13, especially near Food Lion. We should be encouraging people to walk and bike across 13, but this tragic loss shows how dangerous such a crossing can be. My condolences to the family.

    I agree with Kearn Schemm. People are just too dependent on their cars to move around even for distances less than 1 mile. I am also puzzled by the speed limit of 55 mph going into Rt 184 from US 13, a country road, then dropping abruptly for a short time to 40 mph, and then to crawl-speed of 25 mph in Cape Charles. It doesn’t make sense and it’s dangerous. How do you go about making this change? Is there a way and how do you make it happen?
