Install a Pedestrian-Activated Crosswalk at Eagle Rd Intersection in Newtown Grant
The Issue
Although a marked crosswalk is present, many motorists fail to yield to pedestrians attempting to cross at the Eagle Road intersection of Jonquil and Marigold. Residents regularly experience long waits before a safe gap in traffic occurs, and many have witnessed or experienced dangerous near-misses due to vehicles not stopping as required by Pennsylvania law. This crossing is used by families, children, walkers, runners, cyclists, seniors, and other residents traveling throughout the neighborhood.
The purpose of this petition is to respectfully request that the appropriate agency:
-Evaluate the installation of a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) or another pedestrian-activated crossing system and improved lighting.
-Review traffic speeds, vehicle yielding rates, sight distance, and pedestrian activity.
-Prioritize safety improvements that will help prevent future injuries and improve driver compliance at this crosswalk.
