Every morning I either walk to school or I walk to the bus stop and take the bus 4 stops and then I get off the bus and walk the rest of the way to campus. There's a big crosswalk that was painted a couple of years ago near-ish to the entrance to school after the school's safety committee started pushing for it.

Crosswalks are important. They are a visual reminder that people are walking and in fact crossing the street. Crosswalks say to drivers: hey, watch out for pedestrians.

Recently my crosswalk was repainted. Here's what happened.

Awesome. (<em>Kind of</em>.)

This leads me to wonder two things: who parked there? and who decided to paint this?
