Nov. 15, 5:05 p.m. - A woman escorting a troop of Girl Scouts from the Parish Center for the Arts to the Town Common was nearly struck by a Chelmsford driver who did not see the crosswalk.
The Chelmsford man was apologetic, but the woman wished to contact police due to a similar incident at nearly the exact same spot a week earlier where a motorist yelled at her while she tried to cross the road to let them know about the recent pedestrian safety issues in the area.
Police were able to contact the Chelmsford man, who confirmed he was extremely apologetic to the woman and was not aware of the crosswalk in the area.

It always amazes me how people who own dogs can be so insensitive to their neighbors when they let them bark. While people have a right to own dogs, people also have a right to peace and quiet. I'm disappointed that the police didn't advise the person with the dogs to be more considerate.
