Mariam Hassan has written to report yet another accident at Bayview Ave. and Soudan/Parkhurst Thursday (May 26, 2016). It happened about 2.30 in the afternoon and saw an SUV trying to cross Bayview westbound from Parkhurst to Soudan. It hit a car heading southbound. There was a lot of debris but no injuries apparently. But of course it could easily have been worse. After The South Bayview Bulldog raised the need for a traffic light here some readers said it would be opposed by residents because it might slow down their exit on right hand turns north from Leaside. Maybe. The corners at Millwood and Fleming Crescent are classic cases of how traffic frequently goes nowhere. On some lights traffic hardly moves as cars turning left or right wait for pedestrians to cross. But it is safer than the game at Bayview and Soudan/Parkhurst. The number of accidents are a clear sign that lights are needed. Citizen “traffic study” suggests stoplight at Soudan.
