We asked Facebook: The City of Plant City recently created an all-way stop at the intersection of Evers Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Which roadways or intersections should be addressed next?

“Not sure if it is city of county, but Trapnell between Turkey Creek and Mud Lake has become a very loud drag race zone. Has dramatically increased over the last 6-8 months. If it is county, could the city help us get some relief?” — Laurie Reidinger-Hofts

“I know it isn’t stop sign or signal related. But we could really use some sidewalks on Maryland and Gordon. Having to walk my dog in the road and constantly look over my shoulder for cars that always speed down those roads doesn’t make for an enjoyable walk.” — Brooke Rhoades

“East Alexander St at Jim Johnson Rd. Currently the left lane turns left and the right lane turns right. In the afternoon, traffic in the left lane (turning north onto Jim Johnson towards Park Rd) can back up significantly. Consider making the right lane able to turn left as well. It seems very little work would be needed, mainly signage and striping.” — John Haney

“Turn signal at Collins and Reynolds headed south. Lots of people turn there & it takes an entire cycle for 1 car to go thru lots of times.. intersection where Lark printing & Tennessee Jane is.” — Heather Wise

“I know it’s not an intersection but how about Alexander and Suncoast Credit Union?” — Nancy Cappello Wernicki

“Ideally Airport & Turkey Creek, but it may be too close to MLK & TC.” — Julie Marie

“Eventually, there will be a light at this intersection. It’s the next phase after the light at Turkey Creek Rd & Sydney. The city has purchased the land on the south side of Airport Rd, so the road intersection will move further south away from MLK. Just when will it happen?” — Nadine Hill

“Turkey Creek and Baker needs a left turn arrow.” — Candice Phillips LeClerc

“Frontage and Charlie Taylor!! I am actively working with the city for change!” — Morgan Mullis

“How about closing the median so people going north on Collins between Prosser and Grant can’t turn left into the Plant City Plaza parking lot?” — Gary Geiger

“Nesmith Road in front of Springhead Elementary is terrible and has been for years.” — Margaret Green Horne

“Alexander and Mud lake Rd! The intersection of death, literally” — Joey Tomasina

“Frontage and Charlie Taylor! Too many fatal accidents there!” — Megan Nichols

“Prosser & Redman. Grant & Redman. YMCA & Alexander St.” — Jana Kirkland Butler

“Jim Redman Pkwy and Prosser Drive.” — Jane W. Poppell

“Need a light at 574 and Woodrow Wilson.” — Julian Hernandez
