We petition the City of Dover, NH to implement a pedestrian crossing light at the crosswalk on Chestnut Street that runs from the front of Saint Mary’s Church towards Third Street.

 

Pedestrians who have used this crosswalk have been injured and even killed. This is a dangerous intersection with a lot to distract a driver before approaching the crosswalk.

 

The addition of a street light strictly for pedestrian use will improve the safety for local residents in Dover.

I drive through there everyday and people never stop. Someone is going to get killed. Do something about it before it happens again.

My kids walk to school past that church all the time. It scares me to death. Put the light in.

Ridiculous that this is even a debate. Safety should be the priority. Stop waiting for another accident.
