Description

This is not really a street sign repair but a request to consider augmenting the sign that is there. Currently east/west has a stop sign. North/south moves freely from 1st to 4th. The east/west stop sign is run multiple times a day and is also 'California stopped' on a regular basis - where folks slow down and run through. I have witnessed near misses on a daily basis and I know there have been crashes. This has been made worse with 1st being closed and will only get worse when 1st is permanently closed.

North/South drivers often needlessly stop at the intersection because if you live in the neighborhood you exercise extra caution here because you expect east/west to run it. (Feel free to come and park on Fillmore and watch and see how often the sign is run.)

There is also the fact that, west bound, the stop sign is 15+ feet from the corner due to a sidewalk and a power pole, making it hard to see apparently.

I'd like to ask for a 'cross traffic does not stop' sign to be added to the east/west to see if that can clue some folks in to stop.

I know it won't solve everything but maybe it can alleviate some confusion because, as I've observed traffic, I think some east/west folks think they're at an all way stop, not a 2 way. Some will stop and then go, cutting off the north/south that have the right of way as if they expect those folks to also stop.

Thanks
