Description

This intersection is increasingly dangerous. Something needs to be done. My 13 year old son was an inch away from being hit in the crosswalk (all lights were red and the walk signal was on). A woman in a Red Hyundai decided to go LEFT ON RED and almost hit my kid. He no longer walks to school because he can't cross safely. Today, Bloomfield ave was so congested and when I was at the light waiting to cross over bloomfield on mountain, cars remained under the light so I couldn't cross, then when I had just enough room and began to inch across (I had the green), TWO cars almost t-boned me in my effort to legally exit my road.

The truck traffic is insane. Trucks SHOULD BE using Day Hill - a road DESIGNED to mange truck traffic. I want to start a campaign to eliminate trucks on Bloomfield ave. If trucks used the right road, and stayed off of Bloomfield Ave, allowing for less congestion, maybe commuters would feel less inclined to blow through lights.

I know the Health & Safety Committee is looking into how better to manage the intersection, but please make it a priority. I and my neighbors take our lives into our hands every time we leave our road.
