The Solution ?

But wait—we have seen, there has been no fatalities yet. The incidence of accidents is low now. But if they should start to occur and increase—as they probably will? What then? Salient recommends that something be done—now. If we cannot have crossings, can we have lights; or a permanent constable on duty? If none of this is feasible—how about an overhead bridge? Salient thinks that the Executive and the City Council should start nodding heads about this matter. We need an accident-proof crossing system.

All this bilge about probability and cards, is all very well on paper. Must we wait for a fatality to bolster our resources, before pulling finger? Salient thinks—definitely not. Are we to continue to dodge and dive, reflecting and deflecting? Or are we going to suffer protection at our own expense? It's certainly a talking point.
