Dear Editor, The issue of public safety has prompted me to comment (‘Safety meeting on intersection after walker hit,? July 13). I walk my dogs all over the place.

Kids of all ages flocked to Springfield Oaks County Park last week for the Oakland County Fair. Many enjoyed the fun and delight of going on amusement park rides and playing carnival games while also visiting animals and exhibits in the various barns throughout the park.
