Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

Same situation as the fatal last year, same place. Looks like they need another traffic light Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

My thoughts exactly, Bills grandson ... that can be a very scary intersection. Too bad the process for a signal is so complicated. We've needed one there for years.

two fatalities in such a short time has a way of uncomlicating things. My kids caught the bus at that corner and it was bad twenty-five years ago. Even a flashing red on Greenway would help Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Makes you wonder if they need some kind of demented body count before they do something. No good deed goes unpunished.

I would think that the angle that the two roads intersect although somewhat slight has a big thing to do with these accidents. Wonder if there is a way to make the intersection more of a 90 degree angle like Division? Maybe by curving Greenway to the west as it approaches North Shore from the south. A light would probably be cheaper though. nothing in life is free, it ain't about easy it's about tough

I totally agree about the angle thing. Euro and I drive that intersection all the time to go to church. If you stop at the stop and look to the right, you can't see around the bushes at the LDS Church. When you look to the west, there is a curve in the road, and it is quite bushy, treed and shady, so hard to see. We always sit there longer than necessary and look both ways several times, eventually sneaking forward to see around the trees. If it was a straight shot, it would be better, but a light would be a big help!

So lets see- kids were in a tree building a fort, dropped a hammer, hit Goat in the face which caused him to crash into a camp fire where they were making fajitas thus burning his hand and getting fajita all over his shirt! Does that explain it?
