Description
There has to be a stop sign on Baldwin ave right in front of 333 Baldwin ave. There has been many times in which cars go over the speed limit in that zone and it’s almost impossible for pedestrians to cross because no one stops although they should. There has been multiple accidents that have almost occurred and 1 that has occurred within the last week. There are stop signs on Washburn st but none on Baldwin ave.

I am not sure if there are any updates, but a lot is being done in this area. This includes clearing the sight line for vehicles entering Baldwin from side streets and additional lighting.
It looks like the original request of an All-Way stop sign met the criteria for a stop sign and then no updates. This would have taken legislation. Let me find out what has happened/needs to happen.
