Dangerous jogging




To my fellow residents in the Oak Park area, I often leave for work before sunrise. At that time, there are people walking or running in the road or bike lane. Mostly, this occurs on Kanan Road but sometimes on the side streets.

I applaud them for getting in shape or trying to stay in shape. However, it doesn’t seem that they are aware of the danger walking in the street with dark clothes. I see the same people over and over wearing dark or gray clothes. I can’t remember the amount of times that I didn’t even see the pedestrian until I passed them.

I suggest getting a reflective vest and/or lights. You may have the right of way as a pedestrian, but if you get hit because a driver can’t see you, who is the one that loses?

Please, take your safety in your own hands and wear bright clothes and even better, get a reflective running vest. You may save your own life. Kimaili Davis Oak Park
