From Mary Lynn:

Some members of Shore Drive Community Coalition and Save Lives On Shore Drive are working alongside Va. Beach Traffic Engineer’s gathering information on where and what improvements are needed (like crosswalks and brighter street lights) for a safer Shore Drive based on surveys and tests (like how much light is coming out of the street lights and do we need brighter ones) but first we need the results of this survey and we need your help.

PLEASE! We need volunteers to help count PEDESTRIANS & BICYCLISTS crossing Shore Drive even if you only can give an hour we need your help please on:

THIS COMING FRIDAY, 7/30/10 and SATURDAY, 7/31/10 we need help for the following shifts: 10 am –12 noon, 1 pm -3 pm, 5 pm –7 pm.  The 11 pm-2 am shifts are covered.

PLEASE VOLUNTEER SOME OF YOUR TIME!  Consider a block of time 1 hour; we really need your help to cover time this Friday and/or Saturday so please sign up!!!

Please call Mary Lynn Brown at 613-7030 or e-mail your name, phone # and preferred time(s) to marylynnb1@cox.net so schedule can be confirmed with volunteers.

Volunteers will help document results on a survey form to count pedestrians and bicyclists that cross Shore Drive this Friday and Saturday. We have been asked to do this survey to get true pedestrian counts for the traffic engineer’s so they know where to put in the new crosswalks so they would best be serving the public’s safety crossing Shore Drive.

The 2 day survey will be conducted at the intersection(s) with Shore Drive at:

  1. Red Tide Rd. (To cover pedestrians/cyclists from Ebb Tide Rd. to Starfish Rd).
  2. Jade St. (To cover pedestrians from the west side of Starfish Rd to CP Shuckers).

Again, each block of time is 1 hour; we need your help so please sign up!!!

  1. I will meet each shift person that starts that shift to provide that days form (s) for the survey.
  2. You need these forms to keep count and they need to be turned over at the end of your shift (I will come pick them up from you at the end of your shift).
  3. I live a couple blocks away and can always be called if there are any problems. 613-7030.
  4. I have the 11:00 pm to 2:00 am Friday and Saturday shifts covered already for the pedestrian & bicyclists count survey.

Special note:  If you want to sit in your air conditioned vehicle that is fine as long as you have a full view of the area you are responsible for observing and documenting.

Many thanks!

Mary Lynn Brown
