A Complete Street for Foster Avenue
Make a "Complete Street" of Foster Avenue in the 39th Ward, reduce the speeding, passing on the right, and stop lights necessary to slow down traffic by Eugene Field Park and Gompers Park.
Why is this important?
Foster Avenue is becoming a speedway to the expressways and enforcing the speed limits, stopping at red lights, and ticketing passing on the right isn't happening. Two lanes of traffic in each direction are not necessary. Traffic should be reduced to one lane in each direction, with a center divider for pedestrian crossing. A stop light should be added at Avers Avenue. Children are crossing Foster between and among Eugene Field Park and Gompers Park.
