Description
The stop signs on the east and west corners of this intersection are located past the sidewalks of Lakeview Ave. Automobile drivers habitually don't stop before the sidewalk, putting pedestrians at risk. Worse, the two stop signs on the east side of Harrison are not aligned, and drivers pay attention to only the one on the right, which is past the sidewalk. Even the police of 14th Division fail to stop before the sidewalks! There are schools, daycares, invalid and blind people in the neighborhood that are put at risk because of this. I had one driver tell me that I and 2 children, standing on the sidewalk to cross Harrison, were on the wrong side of the stop sign when he drove past the sidewalk to stop right at the corner (past all stop signs). The photo shows the location of the stop signs on the east side of the corner and the typical location where cars stop. The west side of the corner isn't much better

Assuming everything has to be spelled out, here is what should have been done - both signs on Harrison Street, at the East corner of Harrison and Lakeview, should be set up BEFORE the Lakeview Avenue sidewalk. That is East of the Lakeview Avenue sidewalk, NOT West of the sidewalk. Here's another recent picture showing where a car actually stopped in proximity to the sidewalk and the signs. The car is straddling the Lakeview Ave sidewalk, visible on the right side of the photo
