Caldwell Police created a makeshift crosswalk during the recent Art on the Avenue at the corner of Bloomfield Avenue and Gould Place. The crosswalk was hugely successful, helping pedestrians cross safely at what is ordinarily a dangerous spot due to lack of streetlights/stop signs.

We think all would agree the distances to the nearest crosswalks at Central Avenue and Park Street are too far! 

We are asking business owners and residents to sign this virtual petition which we will send to Essex County as a plea to create a crosswalk ASAP on Bloomfield at Gould to prevent a potentially fatal situation.
