I am writing to bring your attention to a matter of public safety that I believe warrants immediate consideration.\n\nThe intersection at 47th SE and 86th Ave SE currently lacks a stop sign. This has led to a situation where vehicles approach and cross the intersection at high speeds, creating a potentially hazardous condition for both motorists and pedestrians.\n\nI have observed numerous near-miss incidents at this location, and I fear that without intervention, it is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs.\n\nInstalling a stop sign at this intersection would significantly enhance safety by controlling traffic flow and reducing vehicle speeds. While I understand that there are costs associated with the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices, I firmly believe that the cost of a stop sign is a worthwhile investment when compared to the potential costs associated with accidents, including property damage, medical expenses, and the invaluable cost of human life.\n\nI kindly request that the city conduct a traffic study at this intersection to assess the current conditions and the potential benefits of installing a stop sign. I am confident that such a study would confirm the necessity and value of this safety measure.\n\nThank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that by working together, we can make our community safer for everyone. I look forward to your response and to seeing improvements at this intersection in the near future.\n\nBest regards,\nPaul Brown\n415.767.8383\nsugaraspa@gmail.com\n","flag_url":"https://seeclickfix.com/api/v2/issues/14634392/flag","html_url":"https://seeclickfix.com/issues/14634392","id":14634392,"lat":47.561929301245115,"lng":-122.2242716544117,"media":{"image_full":null,"image_square_100x100":null,"representative_image_url":"https://seeclickfix.com/assets/categories/signs-6693545b1fdc5149cf533ce1afe0b4809a4bd2826dee86a6afd74d110c8ded70.png","video_url":null},"point":{"coordinates":[-122.224271654412,47.5619293012451],"type":"Point"},"private_visibility":false,"rating":4,"reopened_at":"2023-09-20T16:51:02-04:00","reporter":{"avatar":{"full":"https://seeclickfix.com/images/no-avatar-100.png","square_100x100":"https://seeclickfix.com/images/no-avatar-100.png"},"civic_points":0,"html_url":"https://seeclickfix.com/users/2791816","id":2791816,"name":"Paul Brown","role":"Registered User","witty_title":""},"request_type":{"id":33216,"organization":"City of Mercer Island - NOTE: Emergencies should always be reported to 911 immediately.
