Are the Sidewalks Broken?

What is with people walking down the middle of the car lanes in residential areas? I don't mean across the street, but lengthwise along the street, right in the middle of the car lanes?

Ten feet from perfectly good sidewalks (mostly on Magnolia Avenue north of Foothill and along Hillcrest), I increasingly see people walking their dogs or walking side-by-side blocking traffic. My wife even saw a woman walking a baby carriage right down the middle of the car lane! And they do it before dawn and at dusk when they are hardest to see.

Do people have a death wish or something?

Anyway, if the Monrovia Police Department would like to issue some tickets, I'd happily cheer from the sidelines.

  1. And now this morning I saw a jogger in the car lane on Foothill Blvd.! Okay, he was wearing a blinky light on his head and a reflective vest, so I could see him, but still, he was only six feet from a perfectly good sidewalk.
