Description
The corner of lincoln and stanton desperately needs a stop sign. Drivers are constantly driving well over 25 mph and blow through the pedestrian crosswalk. Today, a driver was going very fast and hit a dog without stopping. I live on the corner so I often see people trying to cross the street and almost get hit. It is a blind corner and drivers fly around it without realizing there is a pedestrian crosswalk. There are a lot of families that live in the area and walk their dogs and kids. It is not safe on this corner without a stop sign.
