Description
I cross here with my 2 y/o daughter everyday and we often encounter drivers not paying attention, driving too fast, and not obeying the yield-to-pedestrians sign even when we've already entered the crosswalk. My daughter has also been yelled at for walking too slowly through the protected crosswalk. Please put either a stop sign or at least a pedestrian signal at this intersection. Thank you.

I also live nearby and this is really one of the worst intersections in town. It’s one of the ways small kids walk to Love Elementary.
After west-bound drivers stop at Oak, they zoom down Buena Vista and are slow to stop at the Willow crosswalk. No one wants to get rear-ended by stopping, however it’s the cats trying to cross on Willow that get hit. Often.
Please add a stop sign here. My neighbors and I have asking for one for years.
