    My husband and I were out walking on Claiborne Pkwy earlier this evening around 6:15pm. We were walking from the direction of Waxpool Road and in the process of crossing Wynridge. We had the crosswalk. We were wearing light colored clothing and reflective gear. STILL a gray or tan colored Honda minivan came speeding from Claiborne to make a left onto Wyndridge coming within a few inches of hitting my husband. While I am thankful for angels that protect us from dangers seen and unseen, the speeding and disregard for Pedestrians in Broadlands is unreal. I am often afraid when my boys are out on their bikes because of the speeding.

    Please, please, please slow down and take extra caution when driving through our community.

    Overall, I agree with your concern, and I am sorry you had this dangerous experience. I almost had the same happen to me a couple years ago walking on the Wynridge side.

    Not sure what can be done.

    If it were me, I probably would have gotten the make/model and plates and reported it. Why? Because this driver may already have a list of violations on file. Not saying police would take action but suppose the next time there is a pedestrian accident, or worse...
