Excerpt from email:

I have expressed my concern to Chris Wojtowicz, city engineer in charge of the project, and he responded promptly that he is having his staff look into moving the pedestrian crossing to the west side of the intersection. I am concerned that this may not take place in time for the 4th of July fireworks off Chicks/Ocean Park Beach. There will be large numbers of people crossing Shore Drive for this event and the lack of a functioning cross walk at this key intersection posses a significant safety issue…

Reply today from City Project Manager:

We are working on it and discussed this at this morning’s progress meeting. Some changes will be made as early as today. A changes will be in place by July 1.
