I sent the following letter to the Tony Furco, Chairmand of the Traffic Safety Committee. If you would like to contact the Committee send your letters to mayor@cityofbeacon.org, subject: Traffic Safety Committee
Traffic Safety Committee,
In the past the TSC acted to make the intersection of Spring Valley Street and East Main safer. You placed a stop sign on East Main for traffic headed south towards the mountain. That measure helped but many people (including myself) would like safety to be taken a little further.
Please consider placing a stop sign on Spring Valley Street for traffic headed onto East Main. At present it is very difficult for a vehicle on East Main to physically position themselves to look up Spring Valley Street (5 o’clock degree head turn) to see if there is a car headed for the intersection. A stop sign would reduce the problem because a driver would not have to turn his/her head more than (3 o’clock) to see a vehicle stopped at the stop sign.
There are many elderly people and people with back and neck conditions that make this intersection dangerous. I understand stop signs are not supposed to be used for speed control. This recommendation is not about speed control, its about making a dangerous intersection safer.
Thank you,
Steve Gold
