Description
It is dangerous to pull out of Stratford Rd. onto Cherokee rd. due to the blind curve and vehicles approaching at high speeds. We have witnessed 2 motor vehicle accidents at this intersection in 2 years.

- Staff · March 6, 2024DMV crash data for the latest four-year period revealed one reported crash at Cherokee Rd and Stratford Rd. Expand the study to the latest eight years shows one more reported crash. No safety improvements are planned for this intersection but there is a Cherokee Rd improvement project in the FY2024-FY2028 adopted Capital Improvement Plan. The project scope includes construction of a six-foot-wide paved shoulder on the north side of Cherokee Road between North Huguenot Road and Forest Hill Avenue. Additionally, the project will improve safety and drainage for the Cherokee Road corridor by adding swales on each side of the roadway.
