There used to be a marked cross walk at the "desire line" to get between the Metro station and NRC HQ, set back from the intersection of Marinelli and 355. It was used heavily by NRC staffers exiting Metro and going to work, and on their return trip home as well. When my commute to work included the White Flint station, I routinely witnessed close encounters between cars and pedestrians in that crosswalk . . . cars speeding both east and west on Marinelli. The wall was constructed over 5 years ago, after what I presume were one too many car-pedestriam accidents or near misses. I'm not suggesting that the wall was the right or wrong approach, just adding some historical perspective to the discussion.
