I recently had the experience of taking my mobility scooter from my home in Hadley to the new Colony Health Care Center. In order to go there and back I had to use the tunnel to cross over to the south side of 466a. I found it a bit uncomfortable that someone could come whipping around the corner in a golf cart to enter the tunnel or that coming into the darkness might not see me with their eyes not adjusting quickly enough.

This got me thinking that with the new Colony Health Care facility in addition to other businesses there, that it would be nice not only for me but for anyone walking, riding a bike or using any mobility equipment, if a cross walk were added at one of the traffic lights to safely get from one side of 466a to the other... preferably the one between MacDonalds and the gas station. I don't think that would be a very expensive proposition to ask for!
