A few weeks ago, a stop sign went up at Armitage and Bissell. I have to say that at first I did not like the new barrier and I felt that some of the local drivers were also thrown off. People would hesitate and I saw a few cars blow the stop sign on a few occasions. During rush periods, eastbound cars would get backed up from Bissell all the way back to Starbuck’s causing a crunch at Sheffield.

Since I spent 90% of the time transversing Armitage and Bissell as a pedestrian, I approve of the new stop sign. I have found it much easier to get across the intersection during rush periods. I don’t have to dodge cars and almost spill my ice cream from Annette’s when attempting to make it across the street.

Now, I wonder where the stop sign came from as I have a rule that no stop sign can be created or destroyed – like matter…
