To the Editor:

How many people need to be seriously injured before Ocean County wakes up to the fact that Long Beach Island is a vacation resort where pedestrians and bicyclists are omnipresent and the current design of the Long Beach Boulevard traffic pattern is just plain dangerous?

This is not a complex issue. Pedestrians and bicyclists need more space, and a safer traffic pattern will not cost any motorist any significant hardship.
