The intersection of Sandario Road and Picture Rocks Road has become a focal point of concern for the Picture Rocks community. Over the past few years, this area has seen an unfortunate increase in traffic accidents, endangering both drivers and pedestrians. As a resident of this growing community, it is incredibly distressing to witness the safety of our neighbors and loved ones being compromised every day due to inadequate traffic control measures.

Picture Rocks, a community that is swiftly expanding, deserves the infrastructure that accommodates its growth and guarantees the safety of those who call it home. With more families moving in and increased traffic flow, it is imperative that we take proactive steps to address this urgent issue. Currently, the intersection lacks a proper functioning stop light and crosswalks, elements that are crucial for facilitating safe and efficient passage for all road users.

The statistics are telling: intersections with advanced traffic control measures such as stop lights and designated crosswalks experience significantly lower rates of accidents compared to those without. Providing these vital safety features at Sandario and Picture Rocks roads can drastically reduce the risk of collisions and make our community a safer place for everyone.

We call upon the Pima County Department of Transportation to prioritize the safety of our residents by installing a proper working stop light and crosswalks at the intersection. By taking this measure, they'll not only ensure the protection of our community but also demonstrate a commitment to serving the needs of a growing population.
