Since moving to the Shelby Park neighborhood of Louisville, KY in January 2017, we have witnessed over a half dozen accidents at the corner of Camp Street and Jackson Street, with varying results including minor vehicle damage, damage to our apartment building, totaled vehicles, and injuries resulting in EMS care.
Young children live at this intersection who get on and off the school bus daily. The frequency and severity of the accidents have only increased. I (Theresa) personally lost my car to an accident here in March 2017 when two cars crashed and hit my parked car, totaling it.
A traffic light needs to be installed at this intersection for the safety of our residents and those who visit Shelby Park. In addition, new speed limit signs need to be posted at the exit ramp of I-65.
A light was installed at the next intersection up only after someone was killed there. Sign this petition so history won't have to repeat itself and we can prevent more injuries and costly damage.
Updates
September 1, 2017
I have been meeting with local traffic engineers this week to demand a safety review of the intersection. Their current stance is that we do not meet the criteria, so we need to flood their office with emails and phone calls to prove that our neighborhood cannot wait for another crash to happen. Send a letter to your city council representative today demanding they expedite the installation of this traffic signal.

Please install a traffic light and new speed limit signs posted at the exit ram p at I-65 and Jackson.
For years, the number of accidents at this intersection have been high. Cars are damaged at least once every other month. Please, install a traffic light here before someone's life is harmed or taken.
Traffic at Camp and Jackson is very unsafe. I would like to see a traffic light installed there to prevent more accidents.
Needs to be up before winter or asap! I've kept count there is 9 now. 9 accidents in that spot
This intersection is scary if you are crossing Jackson on Camp. It is hard to see if cars are coming down Jackson, and if they are, they come zooming down the street too quickly if you did decide to pull out. Please install a light here.
FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AROUND!
Full support of this!

Installing a traffic light to avoid accidents is a simple solution to avoiding any injuries or death. Should definitely have one!
