A reader is concerned with lack of crosswalks

From a reader:

This is my main concern for the Grove: there are no decent pedestrian crossings in the neighborhood, such as in 27th and 22nd avenues. It is a daily threat to walk and cross to go to Kennedy Park with my children. Also, cars drive down 22nd and 27th Avenues as if they are highways. If the Grove had more pedestrian facilities, neighbors would head down to CocoWalk and the parks more often, feel safer, and happier in a wonderful location. I understand that the Grove's internal structure and street planning makes it very difficult to establish a pedestrian trail, due to its narrow streets and alleys, but we can only expect to have a decent paths at least where there is the possibility for so, that is, in the big wide avenues. Mothers and families of kids need and would use these pedestrian crosses, as well as all people in general. We want to feel that our city is really evolving towards a more human place to live."
