PETITION
We OPPOSE the closure
of the westbound LEFT TURN LANE on Second Street
at Marquard and West End Avenues
for these reasons:
• More than 300 vehicles use it daily
• Provides critical access to residences and local businesses • Converting it to a median is unsafe for pedestrians
• Proposed barricade at Marquard can be easily violated • Increases congestion at 5 other intersections
• Increases collision risk by diverting traffic to an unsignalized intersection • Increases risk of rear-end collisions at rerouted intersections • Reduced capacity for 2-way traffic on alternate routes • Difficult to impossible to navigate narrow hairpin bends on alternate routes • Impedes access for delivery vehicles and construction equipment • No history of pedestrian or bicycle collisions with left turning vehicles here • The City’s Traffic Engineer, Raffat Raie, advised keeping this left turn lane open We encourage the City to work with the community to come up with a better solution for the redesign of the “Second and Fourth Street Intersection”.
