I went to Michaels Craft Store the other day and I had to dodge traffic while walking into the store. What's up with Costco and Michaels that people getting gas have to exit through a busy parking lot? Rerouting the traffic from Costco is so necessary before someone gets hurt. Unfortunately, drivers want to save three seconds by not stopping, forgetting that pedestrians have the right of way. If I worked at Michaels I would be writing, calling and supporting any viable option to reroute traffic. I am surprised nothing has been done thus far, except for a (thank you) speed bump. Let's get something done about it.
