I myself have almost been t-boned here. Also, several pedestrians, not only from our school use this crosswalk each day. It is almost absurd that there was not a 4 way stop installed years ago. There is a 4 way stop at the 3 other corners of the school. Why not this one? The least the city can do, is install a stop sign. If not, they should provide a crossing guard before and after school to assist the children who cross alone. Holding on to hope for this additional security for our communities sake, Sincerely, Marilyn Vinciguerra
Traffic will flow more smoothly when drivers encounter an intersection with the rules they are most familiar with; there won't be guessing on drivers' parts. And pedestrians crossing the intersection are more likely to be safe.

Two poles, two signs and some paint that could save the life of a child. Get your priorities straight Transportation Department; you have them right at the other 3 corners/intersections that surround the school property.

Many times seen close calls of drivers not being careful here and other corners surrounding Hacienda Environmental Science Elementary!

I am a very careful driver, especially around the school. I am always under the speed limit and very watchful for pedestrians. But despite all of my precautions, I was close to hitting someone about to enter the crosswalk. Luckily, the person was used to this intersection and knew to be doubtful the cars will see them. Why on earth is is OK to be used to cars not yielding to pedestrians? Let's make this intersection safe for everyone!

Please put in 4 way stop signs, just the other day I had barely gotten out of the crosswalk when someone was going at least 35-40 down the street. I yelled to slow down. I'm sure they didn't hear me. If they had stopped they might have been going slower. Also when I'm at the crosswalk many people don't even wait for you to cross they just come right through. I'm an adult and afraid for my safety, what about our children. Why is it so hard to just put in two stop signs. Is that too hard to do.

I avoid this intersection because its too stressful trying to navigate. There's so much going on with children crossing and traffic not slowing down or stopping for pedestrians. I've seen many close calls and we just can't take that chance. Just because no one has been hurt or killed yet, does not mean we shouldn't do all we can to prevent injury or death.

People FLY down this road - there are so many kids nearby. We'll be adding 30 more students next year.

Thanks for taking the time to sign the petition!
We appreciate your comments as well, but to be really effective, we need people to identify themselves.
Thanks again!

This intersection appears to be a 4-way stop but isn't. Should be!
