A new four-way stop at the corner of 51st and Prairie is a symbol of a safer neighborhood for pedestrians and drivers.
– Usually, summertime construction is not a welcome sight, but a community organization in Bronzeville was relieved to see traffic safety improvements made at the intersection in front of their building after years of fighting for it.It might just look like any other intersection, but those who work and live near the corner of 51st and Prairie see a new four-way stop as a symbol of a safer neighborhood for pedestrians and drivers.
CBS 2 first reported on Urban Juncture's calls for a four-way stop in March after a car plowed through the lower level of their building. "This is something we have been pushing for since 2018," Washington said."Your story was extremely helpful." After years of sounding the alarm, earlier this month, construction began and turned 51st and Prairie from a two-way stop to a four-way stop.Pavement markings and traffic calming posts were also added."Pedestrian safety is extremely critical especially at this intersection and small things can make a really big difference," Washington said.
After CBS 2's story in March, Dowell's office said a traffic study would be conducted. On Monday, Dowell's office said the Chicago Department of Transportation recommended a four-way stop in April.
