I was disappointed with your response as I hoped you would have been able to resolve this problem. Several days ago, a constituent gave me a petition with approximately 1250 names! It is self evident that the residents in this community want a traffic signal. If it is not possible to place a traffic signal at the entrance of the shopping center, then I suggest you find a intersection in the immediate vicinity to place one. I cannot stress to you strongly enough that you send your engineers back to. the intersection in question and find a site to place a traffic signal. I think it is safe to assume that a traffic control device can be placed somewhere in the immediate area to help control the flow of traffic. When 1250 people take time out to sign a petition, it is obvious that there is a problem in the area. The residents of the community use that intersection at all times of the day and might have spotted problems that your engineers have not. This request is certainly not new as the former Assemblyman had written your office several times on this matter. The increased. population and traffic has only exacerbated the frustration level of all the area residents with regard to their safety.
