Imagine for a moment that you are walking down 99E here in Canby–avoiding the many cones and potholes all over the place– and a moment later you arrive at the Canby Area Transit bus stop. As you wait to get picked up, you see the green and white CAT bus coming down the highway at the usual 35-40 miles an hour. You are excited to see the bus because when it gets to the stop that means you can hop on and get that smooth ride over to Eco Park to play some disc golf (or whatever you’re into… I don’t know). 

But just then. As the bus approaches, a person who is completely distracted as they stare at their phone, is about to walk out into 99E in front of the oncoming bus.
