Three Cheers for a Traffic Light Between Stater Bros and Ralphs
It only takes one crossing from the Ralphs Market parking lot at Indiana and La Sierra to the Stater Brothers lot just on the other side of Indiana, to experience the challenge and treachery that comes with risking your life trying to make the crossing. One only has to observe the panicked looks from drivers who have no other choice than to floor their gas pedal when making the crossing. We've seen several serious accidents in the last year, with one fatal. The intersection at la Sierra and Indiana Avenue has become a busy one during peak hours. Not only that, the line of cars waiting to exit the Stater Brothers lot to turn left towards La Sierra can get extremely long as each driver makes a decision to either gingerly make the crossing or take their chances by gunning it. City officials need to seriously review traffic risks at this junction, the same way they would at other more traditionally scrutinized locations.
