The Department of Transportation has confirmed that an all-way stop sign will be installed at the intersection of Penolope and 79th Street. We have achieved the safety measure we requested and I will monitor the site until the physical installation is complete.

Just recently my son was hit by a car crossing the intersection of Penolope and 79th Street. I have heard from many parents over the years how dangerous this intersection is. I would like to petition the DOT for an all way stop sign at this corner to slow traffic so children can cross safely. Please help me by signing this petition. Thank you for your support.

The volume of support for this petition has gained the attention of the local Department of Transportation. I have secured a meeting with the traffic safety division to present our case for an all way stop at this intersection.

cars never stop for pedestrians. putting a sign up is the least they can do.

I live right by there and people fly down that road like it’s a highway. something needs to change before someone actually gets killed.
