Traffic Study For Dangerous Chestnut Hill Intersection

The intersection of West Evergreen Avenue and Navajo Street is known as an extremely dangerous area in Chestnut Hill. Over the past year, there has been an increase in traffic accidents near the almost 90 degree turn cars must make. There were three accidents there since December. In order to determine how to make the intersection safer, the Philadelphia Streets Department and 8th District City Councilwoman, Cindy Bass, have commissioned a traffic study. There will hopefully be some changes made in the near future to cut down on the number of accidents and injuries that occur in this area.
