Hi!
A couple/few years ago our neighborhood had requested that the city assess the intersection of Garrison Lane and Wooddale Avenue.

A stop sign was placed at the intersection, positioned so that cars heading east on Garrison Lane, towards that intersection at Wooddale, need to stop at Wooddale (before turning left/north) to head out of the neighborhood by going up the hill to the intersection at Townhall Station.

The cars leaving our neighborhood appear to rarely be speeding, so I think we were all surprised that it got placed in that spot. As that hasn't been an issue.

We live at this corner, that I am referring to (4501 Garrison Lane) and my office is on the front of the house. So, by default, I see the cars going through the intersection all day.

We had all expected the stop sign to be placed so that the cars driving south down the hill into our neighborhood via wooddale, would need to stop at Garrison before entering the neighborhood. As those cars are absolutely flying down the hill into the neighborhood.

We have so so many kiddos living in our neighborhood and the cars are going so crazy fast into our neighborhood, whether they are going straight through our intersection (wooddale & Garrison) or turning on Garrison. It's terrifying watching kids going down the street and a car flys around the corner without even looking.

As I mentioned above, it felt like it was almost a mistake that the stop sign was placed facing that way rather than positioned to stop the traffic heading south down Wooddale towards Garrison.

Would it be possible for you to look into it or have this intersection re-evaluated?

Thank you so very much! Our whole neighborhood truly appreciates your help and all that you do!
