Description
As other folks have reported the intersection of Fountain and Felch is a problem. The cars traveling on Fountain have a stop but those on Felch do not, because of cars parked along Felch it is extremely difficult for cars traveling south on Fountain to see cross traffic on Felch. Would it be possible to make this a four way stop?

And Felch intersection . At commuting time it’s a regular occurrence. It makes for interesting viewing from my kitchen window especially when someone on Miner decides to run the stop sign at said intersection,
Which happens more than it should. So Felch streets speeds need to be monitored and offenders need to held accountable IMO.

They solved the situation by power washing the graffiti off the road surface. (Clapping the last bit of water from their hands, a city road worker steps back to their truck.) “That’ll do, that’ll do.”

However i can say without a doubt the city thinks a ”survival of the fittest approach” is what’s best for the people.
After I personally experienced a bicycle accident this last September I reached out to an old acquaintance, Ryan Stanton. He petitioned to city council on my behalf for added signals to the southbound on Division side of traffic lights.
Its original use as a one way street northbound for vehicle traffic, did not require lights on for southbound side. Now there’s a bike highway in both directions. The southbound bike traffic is to follow the pedestrian walk signals. The lack of a proper traffic signal was 100% what caused my accident.
After reviewing the city said they saw no reason to make any changes to that intersection at this time.
Meanwhile there is separate secondary traffic lights at Huron and first streets intersection, specifically intended for use of bicyclists. I can only assume this was put in place at a time when someone else was in charge of making the decisions.
