Let’s make Kirk Road less dangerous

What will it take before a stoplight is put at the intersection of Kirk and Giese roads in Batavia? How many people need to get seriously injured or killed before the city does something?

I have lived on that corner for seven years. I do not have enough fingers to count the accidents that have occurred there. We have had helicopters land behind our house. Every time I hear the screech of tires and the crunch of metal, I cringe and wonder how bad it is this time.

Killer Kirk is called that for a reason, it is a very dangerous road to drive on. I think all my neighbors would agree that a stoplight is needed at that corner. No, it probably won’t stop accidents from happening, but hopefully there will be fewer.

I beg you to pay attention to your driving and not your phone, texting, makeup, food and drinks, especially if you are driving on Kirk Road.
