Thank Joyce Parr, our neighbor across the intersection of Stanton & Sheridan.? Joyce contacted Tawanda Carlisle's office last summer, to ask how we could lobby for a 4-way stop sign.? As many of you know, there seems to be at least one spectacular car crash per week every summer at our intersection.? Ms. Carlisle's office sent Joyce a petition form, which Lisa (my wife), Joyce & I schlepped around to neighbors within a 2-3 block radius of the intersection.? The response to our petition was enthusiastic.? We had pages bulging with names.? Joyce sent the petition to Tawanda Carlisle's office---and then the corruption scandal? hit the news.? Oh well, we thought, so much for that effort.? Never fear.? The petition was forwarded to city council, who looked at the issue and happily voted to give us our 4-way stop sign.? Joyce told us the glad news in December.? And here it is!? The crew was here installing signs Friday morning.? This summer I look forward to a delightful absence of squealing brakes, shattering glass, crumpled metal and shell-shocked accident victims.? Motorists who once enjoyed careering hell-for-leather down Stanton Avenue can find somewhere else to play.?
