Narrative:
We were cleared to land a couple mi out on the visual. When we were well under 1000 ft AGL; ground crossed 3 aircraft to cross runway 27L for runway 27R. The last aircraft was very slow to react; I then asked tower if we were cleared for landing still; and he came back to say go around. It seems like tower forgot about us and the last aircraft to cross; a B757; was very close. We executed the miss and came back in for approach.

Title: E170 FLT CREW EXECUTES GAR WHEN ATCT LCL CTLR CLEARS ACFT TO CROSS RWY WITH INADEQUATE SEPARATION.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO LAND A COUPLE MI OUT ON THE VISUAL. WHEN WE WERE WELL UNDER 1000 FT AGL; GND CROSSED 3 ACFT TO CROSS RWY 27L FOR RWY 27R. THE LAST ACFT WAS VERY SLOW TO REACT; I THEN ASKED TWR IF WE WERE CLRED FOR LNDG STILL; AND HE CAME BACK TO SAY GO AROUND. IT SEEMS LIKE TWR FORGOT ABOUT US AND THE LAST ACFT TO CROSS; A B757; WAS VERY CLOSE. WE EXECUTED THE MISS AND CAME BACK IN FOR APCH.
