I hope that you can help me take care of this. Every day I walk to school. When I get to the intersection of Read street and Wilmont avenue, the traffic gets kind of crazy. There are stop signs on Read, but not in Wilmont. But the traffic is heavy on both of these streets. There is a crossing guard, but I think we need to have a stop sign or stoplight to make there a job easier- and safer. Please let me know if there is some way you can help.
