This morning, a car failed to make the turn, hit a parked car, went up onto the sidewalk (see the tracks in the picture below), and hit a retaining wall. The damage to both cars was bad, but thank heavens there was no one on the sidewalk! And the driver was not hurt either.
I regularly urge my family and everybody else not to stand on the sidewalk on the west side of the street. In the eight years I have lived on the street I have seen 5 accidents at the bend, and those are only the ones I know about. One took out the utility pole.
So take extra care at the bend during the winter, both walking and driving.
