Residents demand urgent action to restore stop signs
Residents of Section Street voiced urgent safety concerns during a recent government meeting, highlighting the dangers posed by the removal of stop signs and increased traffic speeds. A long-time resident expressed frustration over a lack of transparency regarding changes made to the street, which has become a \"racetrack\" for speeding vehicles.

The resident, who has lived in the area for 40 years, reported that the removal of stop signs on Section Street has led to cars traveling at speeds of 50 to 60 miles per hour, creating hazardous conditions for pedestrians and drivers alike. Despite requests for the stop signs to be reinstated, officials cited engineering assessments deeming them unnecessary.

The resident urged local authorities to reconsider their decision, emphasizing the potential for serious accidents if the situation remains unchanged. They also pointed out additional safety hazards, including protruding metal pipes and uneven surfaces that could further endanger residents.

The plea for action reflects a broader concern among community members about the need for improved traffic management and safety measures on Section Street. The resident concluded by urging officials to observe the traffic conditions firsthand and to prioritize the safety of those living in the area.
