Description
The intersection at 67th St & Hollis St is dangerous. I work at a nearby company, and I have witnessed four accidents at the intersection since last November. Berkeley PD has come by a few of them, so there could be a log of accident reports there. Many of them happen because the intersection has a two-way stop sign. Speeding drivers, who have the right of way, often collide with drivers trying to cross Hollis Street. In addition, drivers going south on Hollis St. occasionally go too fast when they turn right onto 67th St. (Again, I've seen Berkeley PD pull over a few drivers at this intersection - there could be a log of reports.) Many workers are walking around that area and are loading trucks right around the corner, and it concerns me when drivers plow through that intersection. My hope is that we can get a 4-way stop sign there to reduce the auto accidents and the chance of a ped vs. auto accident. At the very least, we could at least get a "Yield to Pedestrian" sign like they have on 66th St/Hollis St.

I also work by this intersection and walk, bike, and drive through it regularly. With the constant near misses (both witnessed and heard) and the accidents (almost monthly) I am confident a 4 way stop here would make a significant difference. Especially as people come back to work post-pandemic this problem is going to get worse again.
It may also be helpful to lower to speed limit for the southbound drivers on hollis - cars should not be speeding in a such a heavy pedestrian area.
