Crosswalk: Mecaslin and 16th Street
We as Atlantic Station residents are fully aware of the need for a crosswalk between Mecaslin and 16th Street.
Furthermore, let this be a petition for all of 16th Street, so we, as the Atlantic Station community and our guests, will remain safe and visible in our neighborhood.
This is a glaring hazard.
Let's unite to make this happen.
Facts:
1) It is located on an incline, leading to poor visibility for motorists
2) Parking is allowed in too close of proximity, in relation to the stop sign on Mecaslin St.
-Further limiting visibility
2) Mecaslin St. NW is a through street. It is a densely populated area making it a frequently traveled area.
3)Accidents and near accidents have repeatedly occurred at this intersection, due to lack of visibility.
4) Additionally a new bus stop has been established on 16th Street NW for
Atlantic Station's Free Shuttle, which furthers the need for a crosswalk
