Description
The intersection of Forest and Ayala continues to be a problem, with no traffic controls at this intersection. A minimum of one stop sign is needed, as well as cross walks. Dozens of school kids walk through there daily, and are at danger.

I live on Ayala and have had a few too many close encounters with drivers who turn right off of Forest without looking and sometimes barely slowly. We need this stop sign!!
I live on Ayala and have had several near misses with drivers who don't stop before turning right off Forest onto Ayala. Please provide a stop sign there.

I work from home with windows open and have audible awareness of this intersection 24/7. I have lived at this intersection for over 29 years. I formerly drove daily for commuting, so I understand both a driver’s perspective and a pedestrian’s perspective of this blind-corner.
This is what I hear and see at this intersection DAILY:
- I see cars speed from Ayala Ave., down Forest St. towards Claremont Ave.
- I see cars speed down Ayala Ave., speeding past Forest St.
- I see cars speed from Claremont Ave., down Forest St. towards Ayala Ave.
I was very glad to hear that the neighbors were finally posting this request online.
Disagreeing with the need for these signs is, quite simply, is not paying consideration to the traffic throughout the day. These stop signs would be very helpful for public safety.
Cars will pollute more if they are speeding.
I think speed bumps on Forest St. and Ayala Ave. would also be beneficial to public safety given the ever-rising fatality count at the 5-way intersection of Claremont Ave. and Forest St.
