Sterling Hills residents urge traffic improvements after fatal hit-and-run

Addie Short, a resident of Sterling Hills, told the council she had emailed city staff about traffic conditions and urged further measures at the four-way stop at Dunkirk and Wesley. Short said there have been several accidents there and that a child named Dimitri "was a victim of a hit and run" while riding a scooter and later an older adult also died in the neighborhood.

Short said the city's recent response—installing a traffic monitor on the wrong side of the neighborhood—will not address collisions concentrated on the east side of Wesley and Dunkirk. She said a roundabout at Dunkirk and Wesley is "absolutely necessary" and that additional speed and engineering measures are needed to protect pedestrians and drivers in Sterling Hills.
