I just read an article in the Sentinel about the pedestrian/traffic issues we are facing on Finnegan's Lane. I agree that it is a huge issue, especially with the growth of business on that street. In addition, I feel Rt. 27 is facing similar problems between Finnegan's Lane and Cortelyous Lane. Contributing factors to the issue being growth in businesses, population growth, and Rt. 27 being a bus route. I am constantly seeing people unsafely cross the highway. The traffic is too heavy at times for even vehicles to make left turns onto Rt. 27 causing the drivers to make dangerous  turns. I propose putting in a light at Amber Way and Westminster Road crossing over Rt. 27 as well as sidewalks connecting Cozzens Lane to Finnegan's.
