It took Magnolia resident Pat Craft a full two years to get the Department of Transportation and the City of Seattle to install a four-way stop near the pool at 32nd and West Raye Street. The signs went up this morning.
?It?s awesome,? says Craft. ?It took two long, grueling years. There it is. It?s in today. It?s fantastic.?
When you factor the 100,000 visits to the pool, the walking traffic to and from Blaine School, the athletic fields, and Albertson?s, some were surprised it took this long for the city to understand the need.
?It was unbelievable to think how much it took to bring about change, but it was worth it,? says Craft with a beaming grin.
While visiting the intersection Magnolia Voice witnessed many drivers running the stop, not noticing a change was made. Be careful out there.
