The intersection of Cookingham and Reinking in Kansas City, MO has become increasingly dangerous due to heavy traffic flow. As a concerned citizen, I am petitioning for the installation of either a roundabout or street light to control traffic and prevent accidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roundabouts have been shown to reduce injury crashes by 75% and fatalities by 90%. Additionally, they can improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

Alternatively, a street light could provide clear direction for drivers and pedestrians alike. The Federal Highway Administration reports that properly placed street lights can decrease nighttime crashes by up to 30%.

It is important that we take action before someone is seriously injured or killed at this intersection. I urge the city council to prioritize safety measures and install either a roundabout or street light as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
