I support this request. The section of Mount Hope Street I love on (between Riverside and White) is often dangerous because people can speed easily. Cars driving north while speeding can not stop quickly enough for pedestrians crossing near my home (112) because of the hill. This also presents a danger to cars traveling on White Street as they enter the intersection of White and Mount Hope.

Lowell Police accident records indicate there have been 7 accidents at the intersection over the past 5 years. In accordance with state and federal requirements, there must be at least 5 accidents in one year to install a 4-way STOP based on accident history. Other requirements for a 4 way stop are that the volumes entering the intersection on the major street average at least 300 vehicles per hour for 8 hours of an average day, while the volumes entering the intersection on the side street average at least 200 vehicles per hour for 8 hours of an average day. This intersection does not experience that level of traffic. While the intersection does not meet the warrants for a 4-way STOP, I will take a look at the intersection to determine if there are any measures that can be done to improve safety.
It is important to note that the speed limit on these streets is 30 mph. While the speed of vehicles may seem excessive for a neighborhood street, they majority of vehicles are likely traveling at 30 mph or below.

Eric, Thanks for the quick response! If possible could you check it between 7-9 am since thats when the other two streets are backed up. Thanks

As I was in the crosswalk with my dog a car came flying over the hill almost taking us both out! Is it going to take someone to get killed in order to do something about this? A few years back my other dog was struck and killed at the same intersection

Resolved.See answer from Eric Eby above.
