Description
There is an unnecessary 2-way stop at Gick Road and Jordan Drive. There should not be a stop sign on Gick Road because there is very little traffic coming from Jordan Drive. It slows down traffic on Gick Road.

First of all, the stop sign was put up for the traffic that is projected from the new development going in where Plaza 15 currently is. Originally they wanted a traffic light.
Secondly, the stop sign also helps in reducing the speed of many drivers. People coming from Wilton entering Gick Rd in Saratoga Springs have a tendancy to ignore the "posted" 30 mph speed limit signs. Also, those same people ignored the sign driving from Gick to Jones.
But again, the main reason for the sign is for the projected development. The rest of the benefits those are enjoying who live on Gick Rd are just icing on the cake. So stop your whining and stop at the Stop sign.

Thank you erinb. People don't seem to share our opinion.
I suggest they go a different way if they don't like the stop sign. I'm sure the residents of Gick Road wouldn't mind.

Stop whining and deal with it. If the state would put an access ramp on the Jones Rd. overpass, you wouldn't have to deal with the "necessary" stop sign.
Complain to the state.

I don't see where anyone said the speeders are "from" Wilton. I do see where they say the speeders are "coming from" Wilton and "going to" Wilton.
But the main reason for the stop sign is because it was a better solution than a traffic light at the Plaza 15 entrance; which by the way will be developed within the next few years with retail and condo apartments.
So a stop sign was a much better solution.

boo hoo.
This forum is for actual problems. Not wanting to stop at a stop sign is not an actual problem that needs to be addressed.
