Zebra declared endangered species in Marousi


Returning to a long-standing obsession of mine - the pedestrian environment in Marousi, Athens - it is a pleasure to report that a new zebra crossing has been spotted between Ermou Street and the Railway Station forecourt. However, the car-driving natives seem oblivious to the significance of these rare animals, with their contrasting stripes adorning the road surface. The "free parking" attitude prevails. But with the local "Everest" sandwich bar just 10 metres from one end of the crossing - where better to park one's car? Yes, both these cars were parked illegally on 02.04.2007 at 08.40. Morning coffee time.
