Description
We NEED a 4 way stop sign at the intersection of Ryckman Avenue and Peyster Street. People go over 50MPH through here, there are children, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. walking and crossing at this intersection constantly. There are never tickets issued for speeding. I just saw a car FLYING down the road and hit a bicyclist. He just went to the hospital. Who can help us make these roads safer? This entire intersection is blocked by bushes, making it very hard to see who is coming at top speed. We NEED to make this neighborhood a safer place.

Racing between New Scotland and Madison Ave. on South Main is far too common...just like Manning Blvd. between New Scotland and Western, but that is a safer road with visibility of the road is much better.

This is the problem with our city's love of stop lights. In other places, there would be a four-way stop there. EVERYONE would have to stop and at least if someone ran the stop sign, traffic going the other way would be stopping (less dangerous). Not sure why they stopped the crosswalks on S Main before Ryckman, because that intersection could also really use crosswalks.
I regularly watch cars accelerate down the hill to "catch the green." at Ryckman and S. Main. Or the same coming from Ryckman, which means they continue speeding down that street.

Since coming into office, many of you have come to me concerned about the lack of a stop sign on the corner of Ryckman and Peyster , citing various traffic safety concerns in the neighborhood. Now, I am pleased to announce that city has finally installed a stop sign on this corner.
I want to thank everyone who came to me with this issue. Your voices are what prompted the city to act on installing the stop sign.
As always, if there's anything you need please don't hesitate to contact me. As the example of this new stop sign shows, I will work to make sure your issue is taken care of.
Thank you,
Owusu
