Description
Need some sort of flashing lights on the stop signs at Ada and Chicago Ave. Such lights on the stop signs are being used in many other neighborhoods ... some have just one flashing light on the top of the stop sign and some even have lights all the way around the stop sign. I live and work by this intersection and can see and hear cars slamming on their brakes on a daily basis because the drivers don't notice the stop signs. I've also seen a few close calls with pedestrians as this crossing is located between a school and the park. I'd hate to see someone get hurt before something gets done about it.

Thanks to the overwhelming response from all the votes here, Alderman Burnett Jr.’s office has responded with the promise to take action regarding the dangerous intersection at Chicago Ave. and Ada St.
Mrs. Moreno, Alderman Burnett Jr.’s Chief of Staff, reached out to me and indicated that this issue will be discussed in their upcoming staff meeting this Monday. A couple of ideas to be discussed will include raising the stop signs (since they can be blocked by parked delivery trucks or school buses) in addition to installing flashing lights on or around the signs. Another idea may be to install “Stop for pedestrians. It’s the law” signs on the center line to make drivers aware of the stop signs.
Thanks again to everyone for voting. I’m hopeful now that the wheels are in motion, we may some positive results.

All,
So happy to hear you're making progress on this important issue. Many thanks to Euclid for the leadership you've demonstrated on this issue.
K.A.B. you should open a new ticket and rally support for it, just like your neighbors were able to do here!
Please let me know if I can provide any additional assistance with this issue or other SeeClickFix issues moving forward.
Regards,
Kevin
