Description
The corner of North 17th Street and Ordway Place had yet another car accident on Monday Oct. 3rd. This is a dangerous intersection. Nearly everyday, we hear screeching tires and near misses as cars/bikes/motorcycles cross North 17th street here. Right now there is a 2 way stop sign on Ordway Place. Last month my wife was a first responder to a motorcycle SUV accident at this intersection. Scary. Luckily guy survived. We don't want our kids at risk with this intersection or at risk of seeing something traumatic for them or those involved. We have called our councilman, Peter Westerholm, haven't seen action yet. Please do something! Prevent future accidents!

Just heard about another accident at this intersection...
(from neighbors email)
"We just had ANOTHER accident at Ordway and 17th with injuries. Not nearly as bad as the guy on the motorcycle a few months ago, but the driver side door was hit and this poor old man is trapped in his car screaming for help. SERIOUSLY, what is it going to take!?!?"
If you want someone to call directly involved in getting something done:
Corby Boudin - 862.8651 (direct line)
who works with Public Works - Traffic Engineering Section.
Corby had mentioned 4 months ago that he would start with painting white lines on Ordway at the interestection, but nothing has been done.
The city is not dealing with this issue in a timely manner. We need voices to make it a priority.
