EDITOR: As I walked home this morning from A&P, I saw a truck from the city traffic division parked at DesPeres and Pershing. Two men soon got out and removed the stop signs from DesPeres, both southbound and northbound.
I protest this action. Pershing is one way and traffic from the 58-5900 and 6000 blocks must all use this intersection. Traffic on DesPeres is never going to let us in. We won’t be able to get off our block! It will be especially difficult in the morning when we are going to work or taking the children to school.
I would like to urge all Skinker-De Baliviere residents to aid us in a campaign to get our stop sign back. Please write or call:
St. Louis Street Department Traffic Division 2064. Hampton St. Louis, Mo. 63139 phone: 647-3111
Thank you.
A Pershing Resident
