Letter: Light needed at this terrible New West intersection

Editor: One of the worst intersections by far in New West is the one at 6th Avenue and 4th Street. No matter what time of day it is, or whether or not I'm wearing dark or light clothing, I've nearly been hit several times.

Editor:

One of the worst intersections by far in New West is the one at 6th Avenue and 4th Street. 

No matter what time of day it is, or whether or not I'm wearing dark or light clothing, I've nearly been hit several times.

Just this morning I counted nine cars that didn't even slow down. Since I was standing on the crosswalk, it was obvious I was trying to cross. 

It would be nice to have a light at this location because the majority of drivers using this intersection obviously don't understand what a regular crossing sign means.
