Our neighborhood has hundreds of children who enjoy playing outside together on multiple streets- a healthy and needed pastime that we as neighborhood residents value. However, the uncontrolled intersection at Linwood and Stowell- the only one on Linwood between Downer and Maryland- presents a hazard to our children’s ability to safely play outdoors. We need a stop sign on Linwood and Stowell and we respectfully make this request to our Alderman, Nik Kovac.
We live at 3019 N. Prospect, and our kids cross that intersection almost daily. Additionally, about 50 children live on Stowell Ave. just near that iintersection. A stop sign on this corner would slow traffic and make it much safer for all these children.
