Brookfield Signs for Safety: Four-Way Stop at Rockcrest Way-Rockcrest View Lane

1. PETITION SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The intersection where Rockcrest View Lane crosses Rockcrest Way is dangerous to both pedestrians and drivers.

Presently, the intersection is a two-way stop – with cars stopping on Rockcrest View Lane to enter Rockcrest Way; however, straight-through traffic on Rockcrest Way does not stop.  This is an issue because the intersection is at the top of a hill on Rockcrest Way, creating blind spots for pedestrians crossing the street and for drivers, when turning onto Rockcrest Way or driving up the hill toward the intersection.

It is also important to note that this intersection serves as a school bus stop, where children are picked up and dropped off by a school bus throughout the school year.

As a preventative measure against potential vehicle accidents and pedestrian injury or death, it is necessary to place stop signs on Rockcrest Way to create a four-way stop and crosswalk at the intersection of Rockcrest Way and Rockcrest View Lane.

ACTION PETITIONED FOR:

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders at Louisville Metro District 19 to act now to create a four-way stop and safe crosswalk for pedestrians at the Rockcrest Way, Rockcrest View Lane intersection (inside the neighborhood of Brookfield).
