Install a four-way stop at Glenn Street SW and Hank Aaron Drive
The Issue
On a tragic day in our community's history, we lost a bright and promising student, Morgan Gamble, from Clark Atlanta University. A life full of dreams and potential was heartbreakingly cut short when a speeding vehicle struck her car at the intersection of Glenn Street SW and Hank Aaron Drive. The driver was reportedly traveling at a shocking 94 miles per hour, far exceeding the 35 mph speed limit. Morgan's passing has cast a profound shadow of grief over her family, friends, and the entire Clark Atlanta University community.
We cannot stand by and watch another preventable tragedy occur. This intersection, located near Yugo Summerhill, is a critical crossing point not just for university students, but for local families, residents, and countless daily commuters. The current lack of adequate traffic controls there poses a grave safety risk to everyone, especially students who cross it en route to classes and other activities.
This petition, organized by the Clark Atlanta University NAACP, calls on the City of Atlanta to take immediate action by installing a four-way stop at this dangerous intersection. Doing so will significantly reduce traffic speed, enhance visibility, and ensure safer crossings for pedestrians.
Traffic calming measures like a four-way stop have been proven effective in reducing vehicle speed and collision rates. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, intersections that have been upgraded to include appropriate signage and signals witness a significant drop in traffic accidents and fatalities. Moreover, a study from the Institute of Transportation Engineers indicates that intersections with stop signs can reduce the risk of pedestrian injuries by up to 50%.
By signing this petition, you are advocating for a simple yet powerful change that could save lives. We urge officials from the City of Atlanta to prioritize the safety of their citizens and honor Morgan Gamble's legacy by preventing future tragedies.
