I’ve witnessed many heart-stopping moments and unnerving accidents at this intersection between Bryon Avenue and South Lexington Avenue. These are not mere statistical data or faceless reports, but real incidents that could have been fatal, involving real people. Countless close calls serve as a grim reminder of the dangers that this junction poses.

Most importantly, it's personal. My grandchildren, your children, our neighbors - we walk those streets, facing the same potential risks due to the city's inaction. This is not just any intersection for us; it's part of our daily routes, part of our lives.

The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) guidelines advise that a multi-way stop sign be installed at intersections with numerous collision-based accidents. It is clear that this particular intersection qualifies for such an installation, given the history of accidents we've tragically witnessed over time.

Therefore, we must ask the city authorities to follow the NACTO guidelines and prioritize our safety above all. Let's stop the cycle of accidents and near misses. It's time to transform the Bryon Avenue and South Lexington Avenue intersection into a safer transit point for our community.

Please, sign this petition to urge the installation of a 4-way stop at our intersection. Your signature could help prevent the next accident and make our streets safer for everyone, especially our children. Join this pursuit for safety; endorse our call for change.
