Description

We have a lot of children as well as special needs children on our block and myself and neighbors are concerned that one of these drivers will hit a child. Please help....

I have placed a ticket with the Streets Department and was denied a stop sign due to there investigation.

Tell me how you due an evaluation of the intersection while parked in your City jeep half way across the walkway and stop sign. Of course the behavior of drivers will change once they see the City Jeep. Well, atleast for most drivers. I have been denied by Patrice Nuble: Please see the reason why in her email below.

Dear Mr. Labrusciano:

This email is in response to your request for an all-way stop installation and/or speed humps at the intersection of Dorcas Street and Hartel Avenue.

The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code requires that all-way stop and speed controls are warranted by an engineering study and the Streets Department is legally obligated to comply with the Vehicle Code and related PennDOT regulations. The study evaluates conditions at the intersection, such as Police accident records, traffic volumes, speed and sight.

Our study of this location concluded that the conditions at this intersection do not satisfy the warrants required by the Commonwealth for the installation of all-way stop controls or speed hump.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for your interest in traffic safety.
