Bad juju? or do we need 4 way stops/speed bumps along Dartmouth? BTW, I think I saw Officer Lara there today as well as last weekend.

It really looks dubious. Another thought… could you look into that very sketchy, flesh-colored ice cream truck that cruises up and down the blocks playing “Turkey in the Straw” every evening?

I've seen them slam on the horn from half a block a way when they spot the car easing back... why not slow, and courteously allow your fellow citizen to safely re-enter the roadway ahead of you? Safer for everyone, and it's not like it's going to cost you more than 10 seconds out of your busy day. Linjun, would you also consider writing a feature on the various panhandlers & "street entertainers" frequenting upper Solano? (More of the former than the latter, but I get a kick out of the fact that Sasha, the accordian guy, will up and play something like "White Room" or a Bee Gees song.)

There needs to be a mindfulness campaign, required meditation for drivers, many fail to pay attention. Stop signs just add pollution but don't address the root cause. I say a reporter on every street, with photos of the evil doers taken daily.

Thanks a lot for the message. I am glad to be back. Yes I’ve got to know that the owner decided to sell the house and I’ve actually gone to the second open house Sunday.

Hey Tom,

I am trying to get an update on Ms. Sorg’s case and will probably write a follow-up story shortly.

My husband's car was totalled when an SUV ran a stop sign. Perhaps Albany should consider making 4 way stops all along Dartmouth. Travelling on Dartmouth is very dangerous.
