Dangerous Intersection - All way stop please

From "Street Safety Concerns"

Go to the project

Pearl & 2nd intersection is the only one that doesn't have a stop sign. We should have one because it causes a lot of stress, and most people stop anyway!
3rd and Coral should have a stop sign because the visibility is very poor and risky. I've seen a lot of almost accidents there.
Coral and Columbia Ave. is chaos as a 2-way street. It makes Coral St. and 1st St. intersection scary as well because people don't stop where they should.
This is less about intersections and more about speed and noise concerns, but because we're a neighborhood with a high number of families and children, it's concerning to see how trucks and bikes speed through stop signs. In general, people are driving too quickly and pedestrians are at risk, particularly kids.
For goodness ' sake, can we please get some sort of noise ordinance (that is ENFORCED) for these bicycles with gas engines and vehicles revving their engines in the middle of the night?
Double parking has become a HUGE issue that causes safety concerns for both pedestrians and bikers. The lack of visibility for drivers and the level of aggression from those double-parked are both deeply concerning. People have gotten out of their cars to scream at neighbors. It's unhinged.

Totally agree! It's very dangerous coming out onto Pearl from Second street. I live near the intersection and there have been accidents at least once a month with a near accidents everyday because people cannot see traffic coming down Pearl because of cars parked on the side.

Stop signs on Second St only need the addition of "2 way" signs to let drivers on Second St know cars on Pearl St DO NOT need to stop. There is enough visibility at this intersection for traffic to see other approaching. I pass through here every day and only once in 40 years had a close call when someone drove through the stop sign without stopping.
