Hundreds of people cross Western Boulevard safely every day by using the crosswalks and following the lights. The problem lies with people who cross Western whenever and wherever they feel like it, like the people mentioned by Ms. Klein and Mr. Ousdahl in Wednesday’s article. Why does the University think that people who can’t be bothered to cross at a crosswalk will be any more motivated to go through a tunnel? I appreciate that the University wants to keep its students safe, but if people aren’t using the safe options already available to them, why should we spend (potentially) millions of dollars and disrupt traffic on Western to create another option that probably won’t be used either?
