Traffic Calming for Palm?

[Ivana Olson]

Hi,

I don't know who's on Traffic and who isn't now (Maureen but not Wayne, is 
that right?)  Anyhow, I wanted to ask if anything had been 
done/discussed/thought about for the intersection of 10th street and Palm 
Ln.

My friend (who happens to be my sister's roomate and lives in our 
neighborhood) was driving down Palm on her way home from work the other day 
when a woman ran the stop sign on 10th street and hit her. The accident 
totalled my friend's car, if not both vehicles, and was severe enough to 
send her to the hospital and put her in a lot of pain.

Garthanne, the Emerson principal, came out to find out what was going on and 
told me that she had been trying to get at least some bump-outs and maybe a 
4-way stop put in at that intersection.

I hadn't heard anything about 10th and Palm in the traffic plans, but then 
again I've only been to where I can hear about things for the past year or 
so. It does seem like an intersection worthy of at least a four way stop.

Has anything been discussed on this? I'm assuming that they've done all of 
the traffic tests on at least Palm because they have speed humps in front of 
the school.

The woman who hit my friend works at the hospital, but lives in Scottsdale. 
I'm assuming she was cutting through the neighborhood to avoid traffic.
