The Traffic Division of Public Works will be conducting a study at this location. This will likely take a few weeks to gather the appropriate data and conduct field investigations on site. The Traffic & Parking Commission would have to approve the addition of a 4-way stop. Please contact Customer Service at 862-8750 for status and outcome. The Service Request # is 312401.

Thanks for looking into this. Will followup with Customer Service and monitor the outcome / update this post as it develops. - Will

Just heard about another accident at this intersection...

(from neighbors email)
"We just had ANOTHER accident at Ordway and 17th with injuries. Not nearly as bad as the guy on the motorcycle a few months ago, but the driver side door was hit and this poor old man is trapped in his car screaming for help. SERIOUSLY, what is it going to take!?!?"

If you want someone to call directly involved in getting something done:
Corby Boudin - 862.8651 (direct line)
who works with Public Works - Traffic Engineering Section.

Corby had mentioned 4 months ago that he would start with painting white lines on Ordway at the interestection, but nothing has been done.

The city is not dealing with this issue in a timely manner. We need voices to make it a priority.
