Description
This intersection is a high-traffic cut through that is very congested. There is also a buiding which creates blind corner and makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic. Making a right turn from W Leigh st onto Meyers st is a very tight turn and poses the risk of either hitting the curb or hitting a car at the stop sign. I personally believe that transforming this intersection into a traffic circle would help alleviate some of the hazards at this intersection.

- Staff · March 17, 2025Dear Citizen Thank you for sharing your concern with us. Over the past 16 months, we have closely monitored this intersection and observed a significant reduction in crash frequency. Based on our findings, no further action is needed at this time. However, we will be conducting another review in six months to ensure conditions remain safe and to assess any changes. As a result, I will be closing this Service Request for now. We appreciate your engagement and welcome any future feedback you may have.
