Description
Abner Clay Park, a city park with a playground, is located at Clay and Brook Rd, a complex interaction with a Four-Way stop sign. Blooming Child Petite Academy, a daycare facility, is located at 300 W. Clay St. Because of these two facilities, there are often small children near the street, crossing Brook Rd., and playing in the park. Twice last week, I was almost hit with my 20 month old son crossing Clay or Brook by cars driving above the speed limit or driving through one of the stop signs without coming to a complete stop. Please consider adding a "Children Playing" sign to alert drivers to the presence of the city park and daycare center.

Today, in my brief time outside, I saw two cars blow the intersection. One of those times was when I was helping the daycare kids cross the street. What tragedy are we waiting for to take action?
One of the drivers actually stopped when I waved to him, as I was wearing my bright green running jacket. I politely let him know that he ran a stop sign. He had no idea it was there.

@Richmond Resident, Councilman Samuels forwarded my request for a study to Tom Flynn in Sept. 2013. The body read as follows:
Please see Ms. FitzPatrick's email and request below.
There was no follow up by Mr. Flynn, and no acknowledgement of my concerns by Councilman Samuels.
