PLEASE ADD YOUR ADDRESS TO THE COMMENT SECTION!

I am requesting your assistance in improving safety at the intersection of East Vandalia Street (Rt. 157) and Halleck/Hillsboro Ave, which has become increasingly dangerous in recent years. As a resident of this neighborhood, I have noticed a significant increase in traffic and a corresponding decrease in visibility, particularly during peak hours.

The intersection is particularly hazardous due to its configuration. There are cars traveling at high speed along Vandalia, Cars entering and exiting "The Store" replete with multiple access points, further exacerbating the potential dangers, and a blind spot when navigating westbound from Halleck due to a curve along Vandalia you cannot see around.

There is an added concern for children and families who traverse this intersection on foot and/or bicycles. Additionally, the presence of a school bus stop at this very juncture amplifies the gravity of the situation. Given the large number of families with young children in this area, I believe it is imperative that something be done to improve safety.

I would like to request that a 4-way stop sign be installed at this intersection to reduce the speed of traffic and improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. This would also encourage drivers to be more cautious and attentive when approaching the intersection, particularly during periods of heavy traffic. PLEASE ADD YOUR ADDRESS TO THE COMMENT SECTION!
