I live near the intersection of Mountain View Corridor and Rosecrest Road, where we are still reeling from last week’s driving accident that killed an infant. This intersection is dangerous.
Two more schools are being built in the area. Traffic will increase; more kids will be walking to and from school across Mountain View Corridor. We need:
1. An advanced warning sign that alerts northbound travelers on Mountain View Corridor to prepare to stop when the lights are flashing.<br>2. Increased delay time between the transition to red on Mountain View and the transition to green on Rosecrest Road and vice versa to build in a cushion to protect all drivers from cross traffic red light-runners.<br>3. A merging lane for turning right on Rosecrest onto Mountain View to give time to accelerate onto Mountain View in the low-visibility area.<br>4. Extension of Autumn Crest Blvd. to 13400 South, ASAP, and other ways in and out of the neighborhood.<br>5. A sky bridge or underground walkway crossing Mountain View.
There have been 19 accidents at this intersection since April 2017. As Herriman grows, so does the danger. We have one way in and out of our neighborhood. We need solutions.
