Phoenix resident petitions council for memorial crosswalk at 25th Ave and Greenway
Summary
A native Phoenix resident petitioned the council to consider dedicating a crosswalk or pedestrian-controlled intersection near 25th Avenue and Greenway following a fatal hit-and-run; he asked the council to direct departments to review feasibility and criteria.
During public comment on June 3, Greg Turner, a native of Phoenix, submitted a citizen petition under the city charter seeking dedication of a crosswalk or pedestrian-controlled intersection at or near 25th Avenue and Greenway.
Turner said the request followed a fatal pedestrian collision involving an unlicensed driver and was not intended as a substitute for litigation or for financial gain. He asked that the council direct departments to advise on process, criteria and feasibility for dedicating the intersection in memory of the victim and to affirm the city’s commitment to preventing similar tragedies.
No immediate council action was recorded in this session; Turner framed the petition as a public-safety and memorial measure and said he was motivated by a desire for acknowledgement and prevention.
