T-R PHOTOS BY ROBERT MAHARRY — The intersection of South 6th Street and West Merle Hibbs Boulevard is pictured on Thursday afternoon. Mary Mauk, a resident of West Merle Hibbs Boulevard who led the petition drive, spoke before the city council on Monday night. “This intersection has become increasingly hazardous due to the growing use of 6th Street as a main thoroughfare and the rising population west of 6th Street. Walking is putting your life in your own hands as cars speed down 6th Street going either north or south. While acknowledging the increased traffic on 6th Street, Doris Kinnick, however, worried about putting a four-way stop at the bottom of a hill.
