On Friday, July 25, 2008 @ 8:56 pm, 19 year old Verlaine May Powless was in the crosswalk at Las Vegas Blvd and Wigwam Ave. when she was fatally hit. Reports say she died on impact. The intersection has flashing yellow lights, but anyone who has been at this intersection can plainly see this does little to prevent cars traveling in both directions from slowing down. Please assist the family in their request to install a stoplight at the intersection immediately, before another life is taken away and another family feels the horror of losing such a young life. Please sign this petition in loving memory of VERLAINE MAY POWLESS. May\'s family and friends sincerely thank you for your assistance and prayers during this tragic time. EVERY SIGNATURE COUNTS!! PLS. HELP spread the word!! **WE NEED AS MANY SIGNATURES AS POSSIBLE BEFORE 09/01/08** PLEASE PAY TRIBUTE OR OFFER YOUR CONDOLENCES @ http://verlainemaypowless.memory-of.com

I just looked at the screen and saw we crossed the one hundred mark which is just incredible because I honestly did not think this would gain momentum so fast. It is bittersweet looking at the names and knowing why we are all here but the support really helps me breathe a bit easier today.

I really never pictured so many people finding their way here to honor Verlaine and her memory. My hands are actually shaking a bit seeing how much this has grown because it feels like people truly understand how dangerous that intersection is now.

I was looking at the list of signatures and noticed we are just a few away from hitting that first hundred mark which might finally get the city to actually look at our demands. Can you please send this link to a few people you know because I keep thinking about how things might have been different if that light was already there for Verlaine and I just really need this to move faster right now.

That intersection is a death trap. I drive through there all the time and nobody ever slows down. Put the lights in already.

Its just way to busy for there not to be a real light. Stop waiting for another accident to happen.

So tragic. My heart goes out to the family. Nobody should have to lose a child like this.
