Description
On intersection of Abbett and Booraem, there’s not enough streetlight and there’s no stop sign. With the parked cars on both sides on the street on Booraem, cars can’t see when someone is trying cross from Booraem to Abbett or vice versa. Can you please look into this and place lighting and a stop sign here?

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Gigi.
Unfortunately, there is not going to be a simple solution to enhance safety at this location. It is likely that an all-way stop configuration would not be warranted based on engineering standards due to the low traffic volumes. Generally, stop signs are traffic control devices, not speed control devices.
Crosswalks will be challenging to install without impacting (i.e. removing) the trees at the intersection.
A speed hump along Booream may be warranted - please find the speed hump request form here: https://www.cognitoforms.com/CityOfJerseyCity1/SpeedHumpRequestApplicationForm.
