Guest Blog: Help improve the safety on Sierra Dirve
I have been working with my Civics and Economics class to get a three-way stop at the intersection of Sierra and Lawrence. This is a dangerous intersection, as some of you may know. There is a hill with blind spots in both directions and parked cars add to the poor visibility at the intersection. We are working on getting a petition signed to install a 3-way stop sign. If you are interested in signing the petition, please e-mail me directly.

Unfortunately, stop signs don’t act well as traffic calming devices, but rather, people speed up following the stop in order to make up for lost time. It may be best to make an effort to reduce the amount of on street parking along this stretch and have better posting of speed limits, as many do not know the currently posted speed limit.
