Description
There have been multiple accidents over the last few years along with many near accidents. We have even seen church attendees get in near accidents. There are 2-3 new families on the block and it's dangerous to walk students to and from school or unload kids from cars on the street-side. The length of the church block encourages drivers to speed up to get all the way to Brookland Park Blvd. A speed limit sign has been placed nearby, but it hasn't been effective.

- Staff · October 27, 2022The latest seven years of crash history showed two reported crashes at 3rd Ave and Custer St. (One in 2018 and one in 2019). Given the crash history, all-way stop at Custer St and posted 25 mph signs aspeed table is not planned at this time.
