    Agreed! We must remove Baxter Street from Waze.

    • It's drawing traffic up Lake Shore and Lemoyne Street that those streets can't handle.

    • There's a preschool on the corner of Lakeshore and Ewing. Cars regularly race up that stretch of Lake Shore

    • The intersection at the top of Baxter at Alvarado is blind to cars on both sides of Baxter. Cars regularly take illegal left turns there into oncoming traffic that they cannot see.

    • Baxter street sometimes becomes extremely slippery and/or sandy, and cars can lose traction and start slipping downhill, especially if they are forced to stop their upward climb due to heavy traffic.

    • Waze regularly directs cars and/or drivers that are not equipped or experienced enough to manage the grade of the hill. For example, drivers don't leave enough space between themselves and the vehicle ahead.

    • Lemoyne Street also gets a significant share of Waze traffic headed toward Baxter street. There are big stretches of Lemoyne that are a single lane, but two-way, and there's a blind curve just below Effie Street. Yesterday there was total gridlock on Lemoyne as Waze had sent several cars up the street and there were a couple cars headed down. There's no way for the cars to pass each other or turn around. I had to get out (in the rain) and direct three cars backwards out of the mess to clear it.
