To the Editor:

This is the most dangerous time of the year for people bicycling, running and walking, thanks to changing from Daylight Savings Time to Daylight Standard Time.  The busiest time of the day when most people are out and about is in the late afternoon, especially those bicycling, running and walking, when it is dusk.  There are too many idiot drivers that are in a hurry and don’t bother to look out for or notice those bicycling, running and walking.  I have lost count how many times I have almost been run down by these idiots.  This is especially true while crossing side streets along the east or west side of Center Avenue and those pulling out and turning from a side street onto Center Avenue when I’m crossing the street.  This is why we need to extend Daylight Savings Time year-round.
