Description

Multiple car accidents within one week have left car debris on all corners of this intersection. There were also 4 car accidents within 3 weeks one block east at 18th and Franklin in Dec/Jan. The pedestrian stripes have worn away at 17th and Franklin. The metro buses speed way above the speed limit and cause houses on the block to shake, waking residents in their sleep. How many more car accidents, injuries, and residential damage must occur before the traffic on Franklin St, specifically between Rhode island Ave and 18th St NE is addressed? Please make 17th and Franklin a 4 way stop to reduce car accidents, make it safer for pedestrians, and to reduce through-traffic speeding.
