Accident prevention: There have been many accidents, both reported and unreported, at this <br /> intersection, as well as many frightening near misses. We believe a stop sign would improve safety <br /> for all drivers at this intersection. <br /> 2. Traffic calming: Because there is no stop sign on Jeter Street, drivers regularly speed on the 400 and <br /> 500 blocks of this street. We believe that a stop sign will slow down the speeders and improve safety <br /> for the many small children and older residents who live on these two blocks of Jeter Street. <br /> I must tell you that 31 individuals, representing 21 households, including a114 corners, signed this <br /> petition. We received no rejections from anyone we approached; in fact most signers virtually ripped the <br /> petition forms out of our hands, demanding to know where they could sign. We heard from long-time <br /> residents who have been wanting a stop sign for over 15 years, we heard stories of crushed family pets, <br /> and we heard many heartfelt promises to attend as many Council meetings as it would take to get our stop <br /> sign installed. <br /> And now, it's in your hands. I know you will take action on our behalf. <br /> If you would like to talk to me further about this issue, please contact me at the phone number or email <br /> address below. <br /> Yours trul�— <br /> ✓�/ C � <br /> � –.... <br /> Elaine Park <br /> 650-261-9964 <br /> elainepark@comcast.net <br /> cc: Ian Bain, Emily Fagens, Lisa Waddell <br /> Encl: Petition, 4 pages <br />
