Residents demand urgent action for dangerous intersections
During a recent government meeting, residents voiced urgent concerns regarding pedestrian safety and traffic enforcement in their neighborhoods. Adam Young, a resident of Quince Orchard Park, highlighted the dangers at the intersection of Great Seneca, which he described as increasingly hazardous for pedestrians. Young urged city, county, and state officials to take immediate action, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and improved signage to protect those crossing the busy intersection.

Echoing these sentiments, Sherry Myola, a resident of Rabbit Road, expressed her frustration over the lack of response from city officials regarding ongoing traffic issues in her area. Myola recounted her attempts to communicate with the city over the past 11 years, detailing her experiences with vehicles ignoring stop signs and the insufficient police presence to address these violations. She criticized the city for its inaction and called for more effective measures, such as the installation of speed bumps, which had been previously voted on by residents but not fully implemented.

Both residents underscored a growing sense of abandonment felt by community members regarding their safety concerns, urging local authorities to prioritize pedestrian safety and traffic law enforcement before further incidents occur. The meeting served as a platform for residents to demand accountability and action from their elected officials.
