Stop light needed on South Main in Linton

To the Editor:

Could we please have a stop light on South Main Street and "A Street" there by the post office in Linton?

People park cars in front of Bonham's Appliance Store all the way to the end of the street, and from "A St." you cannot see if a car is coming down South Main Street.

There was almost a collision there today between a truck going south, and a car turning south from "A St". It would have been fatal.

Why can't we have a stop sign (light) there? Please. Before someone gets killed.

Thank you.
