San Jose Residents Fight For Stop Signs

West San Jose residents are pulling out all the stops when it comes to getting a couple of stop signs installed in their neighborhood, and now they’re taking their fight to city hall.

Neighbors on Vallejo and Colombo Streets say traffic control is long overdue in the area. Click to Listen

”This street has a lot of traffic, and the idea is to slow it down so that the people using the park, the kids and the families, don’t have to worry about having an accident while crossing the street here,” said Richard McCoy with the Hathaway Park Neighborhood Association.

”People around here are very passionate about it. They want to protect the neighbors. The original appeal through the traffic advisory review board was not handled properly and that’s why we may have the opportunity to go before the city council,” said McCoy.

Rarely does the city council take up stop sign requests, they will on Tuesday.

    Both of these intersections are terrible intersections where drivers have low visibility and drive too fast and are near a park that is used by the community and need a stop sign. I’m surprised that these neighbors have had to ask for this twice. This should be a non-issue and put the stop signs up! By doing so, everyone wins and it is safer for all residents and any driver on the street. To not put them up is being negligent.

    How about proper detection and enforcement? People do not obey stop signs so you will need this anyway. Might as well solve the problem rather than just treat the symptoms.
