I am in favor of this proposal because not only would it provide a safer way of facilitating traffic flow in/out of the park (as well as ped. crossing), a light here would also slow traffic down. Another commenter mentioned that this part of Foster Ave. between Kostner and the light at Target is essentially a drag strip and this is true. As for pedestrians, the only option of crossing the street relatively safely is at Kostner or Cicero. The light at Target/Edens is a bit treacherous due to the high speed some drivers use when coming or going onto the expressway or the Target parking lot, as well as the fact that there are 4+ lanes of traffic to cross from all directions.
