(By Senators Sprouse, Foster and Harrison)
Requesting the Division of Highways install traffic signals at the
intersections of U. S. Route 60 and Witcher Creek Road and U.
S. Route 60 and Diamond.
Whereas, An unacceptable, high number of accidents have
occurred at the intersections of U. S. Route 60 Witcher Creek Road
and U. S. Route 60 and Diamond
, creating a continuous hazard to
motorists, pedestrians and children in the town of Belle, Kanawha
County; and
Whereas,
Over the last 10 years, there have been over 70
accidents resulting in at least 45 serious injuries and six
fatalities; and
Whereas,
These intersections are exceptionally dangerous to
students attending Midland Trail Elementary School who must cross
both intersections twice each day; and
Whereas,
This threat to Midland Trail Elementary School
students became a frightening reality in October, 2004, when a
school bus collided with a vehicle used for transporting children
in day care; and
Whereas,
It is essential that this roadway be made safe as
expeditiously as possible;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
install traffic signals at the intersections of U. S. Route 60 and
Witcher Creek Road and U. S. Route 60
and Diamond; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation.
