Description
There recently has been a stop light and stop sign added to the small stretch of Price street heading out of town. These stops cause traffic delays, wasted productivity, trash accumulation on Price street, more vehicle exhaust and pollution and increases Global Warming. These stops should be removed to increase the flow of traffic out of West Chester

JD - yes there are 3 stop signs but not sure what type of special math you use to get "one stop sign every 1/3 mile". Three stop signs in a .7 mile stretch would be (.7 div 4) = one stop sign every .175 miles or every 924 feet which is ridiculous for a through-street. Maybe o.k. for a back alley or off-street but not the main street heading west out of West Chester.
JD;....hope your not teaching your kids math because they'll be cleaning the "dense community" streets for a living learning from you. LOL

Nice try with the pseudonym JD but the real Opinionator doesn't agree with you. If you eliminate the stop sign and Price and Wayne Street more people will be forced to used New Street to cross Price Street or they will be waiting much longer to cross or enter Price Street resulting in excessive car idling and further contributing to global warming. Plus, people will be forced to pull out of Wayne Street in a dangerous manner resulting in additional accidents, potential loss of life and precious minutes added to your commute as you try to make your way through the accident scene.
PS JD, maybe you should work on your math too. Three stop signs in .7 miles, um wouldn't that be .7/3 = .233 or roughly one every quarter mile.

Umm, @TheOpinionator, if there are 3 stops in .7 miles there is one at mile 0, one at mile .35 and one at mile .7. That is one every 1/3rd mile approximately.
Your comment about accidents is well taken, that is why there is a stop sign.
Your comment about precious minutes to your commute just indicates you need to slow down. Minutes is nothing. Take your time, relax.
