Description

The intersection of 5th and Stargell is dangerous as currently designed as the 3 lanes on Stargell heading west quickly become a single lane upon crossing 5th street and motorists make mistakes and drive onto the wide sidewalk. This has happened multiple times with a serious incident occurring on Sunday morning at 1253 AM where a vehicle traveling at very high speeds flew through the intersection and into the bioswale. Had the vehicle been at a slightly different angle they could have hit the traffic light pole and/or buildings, which are residences. Please assess whether changes need to be made to the intersection, including the installation of traffic barriers to provide protection for the sidewalk and increase the visibility to drivers that it is not the road. Speeding is a problem on this street and changes to inhibit speeding would be welcomed.
