Description
At Nash and Eagle there is no west-bound stop sign on Eagle St. Often, speeding cars cutting through the neighborhood accelerate through this intersection. With the new school being built, it's about time to put in a traffic calming stop sign.

The traffic is greatly increased there because of the State Street bridge being out.
NOT a good scene.
And now there's a lot more drug activity around Eagle/Mecahnic at night...

Hi everyone,
It's like moving mountains to get the city to install stop signs anywhere in the city. They say that stop signs should only be used if there is a visibility problem, not as a traffic calming measure. I tend to disagree. I'll forward this to traffic and parking and see if they would be willing to install a sign. I think this location is justifiable particularly because of its proximity to the East Rock Community Magnet School.
Thanks for reporting this and calling us alderpeople out!

Hi everyone,
I know that Jessica has been working on this issue for quite some time. I'm not sure what the status is on it, but am happy to check. Traffic and Parking is doing good work in the city, but I have to disagree with them on their approach to this intersection. I think it's a no brainer. It's a confusing, dangerous intersection next to a school that deserves a stop sign and one should be put in as soon as possible.
