For ai] I know there may have already been & fatality at our
corner. There have been & number of vacy ugly accidents but,
of course, one never hears the end results of such events.

lL understand that there are plans for improving this corner
at some point in the future, but when? You are redoing Coast
Meridian near Prairic for the umpteenth fime. You have put a
Jight at Oxford and Fraijrie. Our intorsaction doesn't. even
have 4 crosswalk!

You take your life in your hands when you try to cross Coast
Meridian as @ pedestrian. Although there iS 4 crosswalk at
Patricia (which incidentally iS A much easier placa 10 Cruss
because Patricia is not a rough street) our carner has a
great deal of pedestrian ~ fic, including children and
eiderly people. There is » easy or safe way to got down the
west side of Coast Meridj: due to the @itch and narrow
shoulder. Thankfully, there are still a few but a very few,
drivers out Lhere who will stop.

Certainly an this modern age, this intersection should have a
demand sight. 1 realize that guch equipment takes time and
money to implement. However, you haves had plenty of time and
the issue is toe important not to allocate funds ta it.

At the very icast, we should have a four way stop and 8
properly marked crosswalk while we wajt for a morc adequate
solution Lo the problem? Those measures are almost cost—
free! Some drivers may complain, but those most likely to
complain are also those moat likely to offend.

J suspect that a proper traffic atudy and A review of the

R.C.M.F. and 1.C.B.c. records of the past several years would
support. my position.

T trust that you will ensure that & copy of thie letter !Ss
forwarded to the appropriate committee or committacs. I ajao

request that a copy of this lettar goes to the Mayor and each
of the Alderman.

1 would be pleased to provide you with further observations,
as would my mother, Karin Green, whe is the actual property
