The area of Airport Road and Highway 99 is very dangerous for pedestrians. There have now been at least three pedestrians killed near this intersection in the last three years. One of them was a friend of mine, Marla Estes. I beg Everett and state transportation engineers to look at this area to find ways to make it safer for pedestrians. How many more lives will be lost before something is done? Melissa Clark | Nov 8, 2009 6:00 pm | 0 replies | View all | Post reply | Request removal This area is dangerous for pedestrians!
