During a recent government meeting, residents voiced concerns regarding traffic safety at the intersection of Linden Avenue and Kilmer Road. The discussion centered on the potential installation of a stop sign for southbound traffic on Linden Avenue, as well as a proposed no-parking zone on the west side of Linden Avenue.
Susan Lakeview, a local resident, highlighted the unexpected volume of traffic on Kilmer Avenue, which she described as a short street that has become a thoroughfare for drivers. She expressed frustration over the dangerous conditions created by parked vehicles, particularly near the intersection, which obstruct visibility and increase the risk of accidents. Lakeview noted that the presence of parked cars on both sides of the street often leads to near-miss incidents, especially when residents attempt to exit their driveways.
Lakeview also mentioned specific instances where parked vehicles, including a derelict van, posed safety hazards. She emphasized the need for clearer sightlines and safer traffic conditions, suggesting that the installation of a stop sign and no-parking signs could significantly improve safety for residents and drivers alike.
The meeting concluded with an invitation for further questions from officials, indicating a willingness to address the residents' concerns and explore potential solutions to enhance traffic safety in the area.
