I agree. Unfortunately, the only time the Borough of WC is interested in a car is when it's parked at a meter out of time because it's a REVENUE STREAM. If you live in that neighborhood, I suggest you circulate a petition for a stop sign-sometimes that will work. It worked for us on Marshall St. Good Luck!!

No more stop signs! These roads take for ever to navigate with all the lights and stop signs. Price street doesn't have that much traffic and if you can pullout safely then you shouldn't have a drivers license. And what does "there are children in the area" have to do with it?

Mike P., really?

yes Stinky, really

The little 1/4 mi. stretch of Price street already has a stop light and a stop sign in the middle of it with a motorist only being able to go about 100 yards between stops. What, you can rev up your SUV to 25 MPH between stops? Come on people, this stuff is reducing the quality of live for everyone who has to navigate these streets on a daily basis. NO MORE STOP SIGNS PLEASE!

An FYI, Mike P.-I agree with you about not being able to enjoy a drive around the borough; with all the distractions of the rules of the road. Here in WC borough, our circle of friends has been touched by tragedy due to irresponsible driving. Unfortunately, drivers are distracted by far more now than they have in the past. We've had a child hit by a car speeding through a borough neighborhood. (it was determined by skid marks the accident was a direct result of a high rate of speed) Those annoying stop signs and lights help slow drivers down so these events are not commonplace. I guess unless one is touched by a bad situation, one cannot fully understand the ramifications of careless motoring. The only thing I can say is if you don't like driving in WC, go elsewhere. Peace...

yeah, it really "stinks" that parents are so irresponsible to let their small children play on busy roads and then smell-up blogs with whining about how everyone else should be responsible. i remember a neighbor of mine who was force to drain their beautiful pond because a parent complained that their small children might drown if they fell in it, even though it was on private property, hundreds of yards from their house. Have you heard the old parent joke, "go have your kids play out on the highway"? I was wrong on my original post, Price street has TWO stop signs and a traffic light on the short 1/4 mile stretch some are whinning about. Why don't we just ban all cars from within 100 yards of a child's house? You said it stinkman; your tragedy was do to an irresponsible driver not a faulty road. This PC stuff has no end....p.s. If i could avoid driving thru W.C. I would but can't so sorry for driving my car on a "road" that was built to have "cars" "drive" on it.

Mike p-

I am sorry that you feel silly stop signs and lights are a pain. I say we lift all traffic rules and practice survival of the fittest. I am sure my 6 and 4 year old that often cross at Brandywine and Price as well as the other intersections through out the borough will do just fine. I am also sure that you must be a top notch driver and not one of the many that pass my house going at least 50 in a 25, tailgate me when I drive 25 on Price, gave me the finger for driving the speed limit, taken my wife's mirror off her car, almost hit me while slamming into my car door while flying down Price, and the list could go on. I ask you for the safety of everyone in the borough- drive safe, slow down, stop at signs, stop texting and talking on the phone you're not that important, stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, and most of all -grow up. I agree with above, if you don't like driving safe in the borough don't drive here.

Boy, if its that bad living in West Chester why don't you move somewhere else? Or to follow your stupid logic, if you don't like living peacefully in West Chester then don't live there! No amount of stop signs, stop lights, speed bumps and policemen (which I am one) can keep people from being "stupid" so you might as well move underground and live in a padded room.

Wow, not even sure how to respond to that. We love living in WC and want the best for all who live here. I am suprised by your statements given the line of work you are in. Just remember-" Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."- Margaret Mead. Good luck and stay safe, I have tremendous respect for our police here in WC and I hope that where you work you understand that while you can't remove the wrong doings of others, you don't stop trying- evil thrives when good people do nothing!

Mike P. .... Relax, dude. No one is trying make broad, political statements, there's no sweeping lefty, pinko, agenda ----no one wants to take little Mikey's car away. Just slow down, obey the rules of the road, enjoy life, remember to take your meds and get plenty of fiber in your diet.....

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!! (so un-P.C. of me, LOL!!)

Price street doesn't need more stop signs. Too many already, I vote to take the existing two down.

I totally agree. I think the light on Price and High should go too.

We should make Price street into a drag strip and use small children as barriers along the side so the cars don't leave tred marks on people's front yards when they loose control when going at high rates of speed.

Gay, High, Market Sts. as well.

All cars speed on Price street? Are you kidding? With all the existing stops, you'd need a formula one race car to get up to 25 miles an hour.....totally unnecessary in my opinion.

Totally

I personally feel that instead of adding more and more stop signs, we need to add police to be sitting there ready to catch the idiots treating residential streets as a drag strip. That kind of vigliance works over time.
More public service annoucnements etc need to be put out there. This has worked for DUI's, wearing seat belts, using car seats, etc.
Besides, how many times have we seen some dimwit, who when forced to stop (slow) at a stop sign, then guns it even if just for a few yards? I'm willing to be plenty.
