We, the undersigned, feel it is necessary for a stop sign to be installed at the intersection of W Strong St. and North Austin Avenue for the following reasons: 1) There is no longer a crossing guard at this intersection, so the children walking to St. Constance School and Prussing School need additional safety 2) The traffic along Austin Avenue, especially during rush hour, travels at speeds higher than the posted limit 3) The distance between stop lights (Gunnison to Higgins) is long enough of a distance for the cars to achieve the higher acceleration

I have been in contact with local traffic officials to discuss the recurring safety concerns at the intersection of Strong and Austin. While formal progress is slow, the persistent accounts of speeding vehicles confirm that our proposal remains a necessary step for the security of students in our neighborhood.

The steady growth of this petition reflects a shared commitment to the safety of our neighborhood streets. This momentum indicates that our community recognizes the urgency of addressing traffic conditions at this intersection.

This whole intersection is a nightmare during rush hour. Put the sign up before a kid gets hit.

people fly down this street like it's a drag strip. kids walk to school right there and it is only a matter of time before something bad happens.
