Subject: Stop Sign at Oak & Main
At the corner of Main and Oak, where many people cross daily, there is a glaring absence of a stop sign. - this poses a
significant safety concern. Despite Main Street having a limit of 25 mph, numerous vehicles exceed this speed, especially
between sections needing more traffic control. Furthermore, pedestrian accidents have occurred in the crosswalk over
the past few years, with near -miss incidents being common. Implementing a four-way stop for those turning left from
Oak onto Main would significantly enhance safety and efficiency for residents in our community. We must take
proactive steps to address these safety issues.
Many of us have concerns about the safety of our children crossing that area, and it's our collective responsibility as a
community to work together to ensure the safety of all of the people in El Segundo.

Subject: 4-way stop at Oak & Main
We live on W Oak and we fully support changing W Oak and Main from 2-way to 4-way stop. Between traffic and school
kids it is very challenging getting out of W Oak Ave.
Thank you,

Subject: Request for a Stop light or Sign at Oak and Main Street Crosswalk
Dear City of El Segundo,
I want to highlight an ongoing safety concern at the crosswalk at Oak Main St. that requires immediate attention. Over
the past eight years, we've witnessed numerous pedestrian accidents and near -misses at this intersection. This long
standing issue poses a significant threat to our neighborhood's safety, especially given its role as a main crosswalk for
high school and Richmond school students.
The heart of the problem lies in speeding vehicles on Main Street, and lack of clear visibility to this intersection along
with the speeds at which drivers travel in this area endangers all pedestrians at this intersection.
I strongly urge the installation of a stoplight or at least a stop sign at this crosswalk. This step would force drivers to slow
down, enhancing pedestrian safety and reducing accidents.
Please consider our plea during the city council meeting tomorrow. Our community's safety, particularly our students', is
at stake.
Sincerely,
Tyler Goth-Kovall
