re: Crash at Burbank and E. Boyd

They need to put the light back and program it so that each direction of Boyd has a green light while the other three directions are faced with a red light.

It simply is not safe to have a stop sign on a road as heavily used as Boyd where traffic has to cross 5 lanes.

So then there would be three lights in a row, 1) W. Parker, 2)E. Boyd, 3) Jennifer Jean, with the light at E.Boyd cycling 4 ways? That would slow down traffic on Burbank incredibly. They MIGHT be able to time the lights right where it wouldn't slow down Burbank traffic, but that hasn't worked well in other places with multiple lights in a short distance (College Dr, Siegen Ln.).

The biggest problem was people trying to turn left onto Burbank and only two or three cars making it through the intersection.

The biggest problem I saw before the addition of the turn lane & removal of the light was multiple accidents happening when people turned left from Burbank onto E.Boyd and were hit by a car going down Burbank. (Most of the time this happened when 2 opposing cars were turning left, and someone passed the stopped turning car.)
