In March of 2022 I came before the Town Council once again to complain about the danger that exists at the intersection of Saguaro and Fountain Hills Blvd. I live two houses north of that intersection. I have witnessed four automobile accidents and five motorcycle accidents, all happening to people who were trying to turn from Saguaro onto Fountain Hills Boulevard. In every case, they were run into by people speeding northbound on the boulevard.

I have since been informed that our town has no evidence of any accident ever happening at that interception, and that they would have to do a $16,000 study to determine if there truly is a need for a three-way stop, based upon traffic patterns.

I see that another individual (see the Jan. 18 Times letter, “Ashamed”) is also fed up with this existing situation.

Did the Town do a similar study before installing the supposed people/dog crossing of Saguaro near the dog park? In the past year, I have only seen one person using that crossing, which makes it another waste of Town monies.

One of my neighbors is willing to join me in helping the town fund two new Stop signs, converting that intersection into a three-way stop, which is much needed. I am once again asking my town to correct this dangerous situation. Take the appropriate action.
