Bill Dunn was a faithful man of God. I have been a friend of Bill for 40 years. God has a place reserved for him in the Kingdom. signed DLR
Something has to be done about pedestrians in downtown Annandale. They just run out in front of oncoming traffic. They walk in front of green lights. It’s ridiculous. I’m sorry he passed, but people walking across busy roads is a huge – preventable – problem.
I agree. Tragic but so preventable. It’s a four lane very busy road and has blind spots going around the curve. I would be devastated if I had hit someone. So tragic
