Between Hall Rd and 21 mile rd there are no stop lights, thats 1 mile distance between, 1 light between is important here. Now about making a right turn "easier"???? Yeah it would be if I need to go north, now lets see if I want to go to Walmart..... so should I turn right go down a 1/2 mile, turn right again on 21 mile rd, go down another 1/2 mile to 94, and take that down 1 mile to Hall rd exit, then go down another 1/2 mile, make a right, then go down another 1/2 mile to Walmart....sounds ridiculous right???? Or just turn left out of the blvd, go down lesss than 1/4 mile make another left and be there. Theres your answer! WE NEED A LIGHT AT THIS DEADLY INTERSECTION

No, I don't think it is ridiculous to go a little further to keep myself safe. There is absolutely nothing that Walmart or any other store that makes it necessary for me to put myself or family in danger by making a dangerous turn in traffic to get there faster. If it is a matter of life or death that you make that left turn...maybe you need to call 911 instead of driving anywhere. The next obvious thing would be the answer to your comment of going a different route to Walmart. If you needed to go that far to turn around, then you really don't need a light there as it must be a lot more rural on that part of the road than meets the eye. There must be a safe place to turn around instead of driving so far out of your way. If you really feel as if you are in that much danger you can keep yourself safe by going another way. Adding a light will not make you safe, your defensive driving is what makes you safe.

Unless youre from around here dont comment on something you know absolutely nothing about, this message is not for your opinion, its for the road commission, I live here and I drive daily through here, its busy a busy intersection and Walmart makes it even busier, I need to go south which is my left turn M-F for work, and so does most of the 367 homes in our subdivision, so please keep your opinions to yourself, and if you have too much time on your hands, drive to this intersection, park at the church nearby and watch the traffic, and enjoy the thrill of many close calls from cars to buses turning here.

You seem to be very rude for someone who wants to have something fixed. I actually am from the neighborhood and do drive in the area everyday. I do deal with the traffic, but realize that we can't just dump traffic lights in every area that we think needs one. We have to look at traffic patterns and other factors, not just how fast we want to get to a store or other place. As a matter of fact, I may just be one of the people who will be responding to your home if you call 911. As a local emergency first responder I really do know a lot about this topic and hope that your request is denied it will cause chaos and is not truly needed. Did you stop to think of the safety risk that an extra light will have on traffic, emergency vehicles or others...or just on yourself and your ability to turn left? Have you reviewed the crash statistics for where you are asking for a light? When I read your post I did. There are no statistics that show it is needed, just people who are being aggressive with their driving and frustration that they have to wait. I wish you well in your quest, though I know it probably won't happen as these things are not done because of want, but rather need. I also hope that someday you realize how rude you are being to others and stop thinking only of yourself and your own needs. Have some patience when you are driving and don't worry about turning quickly...the life you save may be your own or your neighbors. It is drivers like that who kill others and keep me running around the area trying to save the people they hit!

I am a concerned resident ,and a parent of a new driver, in a subdivision that has major issues. You claim to be living in our area,I can tell that you dont by the previous writings that you claim we live in a rural area, when its not, and its a given that you "dont" live in our sub, you probably have no issue getting out of your area, so you find it easy to reply on my concerns. If you had an issue every time getting in, and out of your sub, you would be the one typing on my end. Now the fact you claim to work for an emergency service, now if anyone should know how time is of the essence, it would be you, every second counts right? Well just imagine if you werent given those sirens/lights to stop traffic, how do you suppose you would get into a sub that has ongoing traffic all hours of the day except for maybe after 8 pm, and Im sure ambulances, firetrucks, and police all have to make left turns once in a while, I hope for the life of me that if I ever need the 911 services I dont have the unlucky opportunity of having you as the driver, I would probably be dead by the time you arrive into our sub. Now I hope this is the last comment from you, you are not from the road commission, thats the only one who I want commenting on my concern.

Apparently you have no idea how the process of emergency services works, or know that lights and sirens make it so much more dangerous for the emergency workers. Nor the fact that you are not the only person who drives to work on a busy road. Statistically the roads I drive to work on are much more dangerous as I have to be on them all the time and deal with aggressive drivers. You also are also not educated in knowing how the process works for getting a street light put in as simply coming to a webpage and whining about it, attacking others and looking foolish will not get it done. Where are you when it is time for the Chesterfield cit council meetings? I am there every meeting and have never heard you bring this issue up. Chesterfield is looking to pass a millage because of a deficit in the budget because our homes are continuing to loose value which in turn decreases tax revenue. . Do you really think that this conversation here, on a newspaper webpage, will get someone to run out and put in a traffic light? Have you contacted the right organizations or are you simply trying to whine and intimidate others here? Have you looked at any study to see how a light there would effect traffic at Hall road or 21 mile or even the surrounding streets? There is a reason why streetlights are put where they are and it is not from people simply saying they need one. Look how many others are asking for street lights and see how many have gotten it done this way, you will see how fruitless it is. You should be following the actual process of contacting the right governmental bodies, looking for traffic pattern studies, crash statistics and all of the proper ways to accomplish this. I know that this is the way it is done as I have been involved in getting it done in another spot on Gratiot. Coming here and trying to bully me really won't get you what you want. I also am not intimidated at all by you or people like you who feel you need to be rude to get your way no matter what.

You may also want to go back and read my posts and yours. I don't say that it is a rural area. I said that your claim of how far you would have to drive out of your way to go to Walmart is ridiculous as you would not have to do that to turn around. You are exaggerating your claim of what it would take to go an alternate way. Additionally, there have been people KILLED turning left from the businesses on 23 mile near Gratiot and there are no additional lights there. Not that long ago it was a young girl from Anchor Bay High School, similar to the young driver you discuss, that died while making a left turn in Chesterfield on a very busy road similar to Gratiot.. There is not a light where she died now because of it. Instead the discussion was that she should have not made that turn as it was too dangerous. That is what new drivers should know, that when it is too dangerous to turn left, go out of your way to be safe. Not that the government or someone else should make a change so they can have what they want. Leaving the house 10 minutes earlier to avoid the danger of making that turn is not that big of a deal. Many of us do it everyday.

You probably don't believe in Karma...but someday if you need medical help and I am the responder that comes to help you...I will do my best to save your life,or the life of your loved one. Though I will be able to smile a little inside and maybe introduce myself to you as the person who you were rude to once. This should be easy as I have an idea where you live and you posted your name here. It is then that you will feel foolish.

I live in the same sub. It isn't that hard to turn. There are just too many drivers who can;t wait there turn. I think the lady is right. We just need to wait.

Easiest way to resolve the problem is to place a "No Left Turn' sign there.

We need to be able to turn left and right there, we just need a light

I think the No Left Turn sign is a good idea. A light would just back up traffic coming from Walmart and the Hall Road. It owuld make it hard to turn out of Walmart.

I would be happy with a light at Walmart, that would even help here, no left turn would not be acceptable, most everybody, including school buses, turn left.

A light where Walmart is would back up traffic real bad all the way to hall road. A no left turn there is a good idea too! The school busses can change their route to not turn left it would work. Then we just have to not turn left out of our sub and it would work. The no left turn idea is a really good one. We wouldnt have the crazies pulling out into traffic from either place!

I live here in this sub too, and no left turn is not acceptable, I work and drive down S Gratiot. The real issue is when the Walmart went up they put a light on Hall Rd but not at Gratiot, so not only are we getting the Gratiot traffic we are also getting Walmart traffic, they need to put a light at the Gratiot / Marketplace.

I drive down Gratiot to go to work too. I don't understand why we can't do a no left turn sign. The comment here says it is dangerous, so that would fix the danger part. It is too dangerous to turn left out of most places on Gratiot. Our intersection is not the only one.

Do you turn left or right to go to work? Most of the residents here turn left from 5am-8am including buses, a light will only help, and if not here, at Gratiot/Marketplace, where there should of been a light placed from day one, when the Walmart began, I agree with my fellow neighbors

Yes, I already said that I go south on Gratiot to go to work. I go to work in the morning to. Buses don't have to turn left. They have a route that they figure out and can change. Just like us. See the answer that I gave the guy with your same last name on the other post about this. A light would make it even harder to turn left. No left turn would make is better for everyone. Us, and Walmart and the people on Gratiot.
