Description

There are two stop signs on either side of 20th Street at Brandywine Street. Both are obscured by trees, the one on the east side almost completely so. I walk through this intersection every day and almost daily see cars drive right through, at high speed, without stopping. This is particularly harmful when cars traveling north have just come through the traffic light at Spring Garden, and are picking up speed.

There are two day cares at this corner and many homes with young children on the neighboring blocks. This intersection is unsafe for both cars traveling west on Brandywine and pedestrians. A simple regular tree-trimming would alleviate much of the issue.
