It was tragic that the young man had to die in Makakilo the other week. The media showing his friends and family holding signs, tell motorist to "slow down & watch out for the kids", but not once did I see a sign saying "use the crosswalk" or did his parents put some blame on the victim. This wasn't some little elem. school child who didn't know better , but a high school young man, he ran across a busy road instead of walking a few feet to a crosswalk. The driver was said to have not been speeding ,so I feel was not to blame.
As a child in Hilo in the 4th grade ,I was almost killed by a car while running across the road . It was all my fault. I learned a painful lesson that day( split my bottom lip), use the crosswalk.
The family is collecting money to build a bench at a bus stop....maybe they should build an elevated crosswalk . This would serve people more than a bench.
