"Just a few years ago, there weren't even stop signs at most of these intersections, so it's nice to see things getting progressively better."

I'm all for zebra crossings, but I'm a disappointed to see the writer imply that stop signs are an effective means of traffic calming. They get drivers to stop at a defined point on the street but do nothing to control the speed outside the immediate area of that point. See: http://www.streetsblog.org/2011/04/26/to...

Residents and the city need to stop with the knee-jerk adding of stop signs. Not only do they not calm traffic effectively, they increase fuel consumption and make cycling more difficult.
