Started by Andrea Garcia 6 years, 3 months ago
From February 2019 - June 2020 3 car accidents on the corner of Locher and Stateline have caused the multitudes of damages to the T intersection. This has caused damage to the property of Stateline and Locher such as fencing, posts, replacing some of the field soil, replacing irrigation, replacing irrigation faucets, and replacing rocks. This is due to no lighting, dense fog, and high speed limit. Precautions have been made by the homeowner with decorative rocks, reflective tape, and white fencing. Homeowner has talked and pleaded to county but no action has been made.

We the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to put up a blinking solar stop sign at the end of Locher and Stateline and Locher and Frog Hollow. We ask that the speed limit be reduced to 40 mph on Stateline Road from Highway 125 to the end of Stateline Road and Umapine Road. Locher Road reduced to 40 mph to Frog Hollow Road. We ask that rumble strips be placed 100 feet from stop sign on Locher Road and Stateline Road and Locher and Frog Hollow Road. We ask that a light be placed on Stateline Road before Locher Road as many people miss this turn due to the lack of light and visibility of road sign.

The lack of response from county officials reveals a concerning disregard for the safety of our intersection. I am currently preparing a formal letter to compile the documented accidents and neighborhood concerns for further presentation to the transportation department.

The consistent growth of this movement demonstrates a shared commitment to improving safety at these intersections. Seeing this level of engagement proves that the need for road improvements is a clear priority for our community.

The wrecks are horrible one of these times we’re gonna be pulling out a dead body. How many accidents do we have to have before they change this? How many deaths have to happen before they make a change.?

I live on Galloway off Locher and I’m very concerned about the speed and lack of visibility.

I saw the accident yesterday morning from my house. Something needs to be done. Often cars are traveling beyond 50 miles an hour down stateline, and the truck, and farm traffic is high this time of year. When it is foggy, it is impossible to see the intersection. Blinking lights would be very hellpful.
