Help Save Lives on Barbour Lane—We Need Crosswalks Now
Every day, people cross Barbour Lane at Ashleywoods Drive and Barbour Manor Drive without any crosswalks or pedestrian signs. Speeding vehicles barrel through these intersections, and honestly? It feels like a game of chance just to get safely across.
I started a petition asking our local council to install crosswalks and pedestrian signage at these intersections. This isn't complicated—other Louisville suburbs have them. It's basic infrastructure that works. Studies show marked crosswalks reduce accidents by over 60%. We're not asking for much. Just paint on the pavement and some bollards in the center of the road.
Think about it: kids walking to school, seniors on their daily walks, families just trying to get around safely. Right now, everyone's holding their breath. If this resonates with you—if you've white-knuckled your way across Barbour Lane or know someone who has—consider signing and sharing this. What would you want someone to do if this was your family trying to cross that road?
