Re: Louisiana crosswalk between Dakota Street and the Malls Shopping Center

We are in a unique neighborhood with over 98 businesses and services with in a ½ a mile.  About 80% of the businesses and services are directly west of us.  Therefore it would make sense to have a crosswalk to the Malls Shopping center at Dakota Street. Besides our neighborhood we are the most direct cross road for Haskell Indian Nations University and the Breezedale Neighborhood to our east. I myself go to the Malls 2-3 times a day.  Our slow traffic is made up of people of all ages of cycles, grocery carts, pedestrians including vehicles and devices for disabled, scooters, skaters, skate boarders, runners, joggers and walkers.  A crosswalk with a pedestrian refuge would be a great benefit to our neighborhood.

Thanks for your support
