A Lyndon Center couple has had enough with cars crashing into their home.Bill and Mary Cote live at the corner of Back Center Road and Center Street in Lyndon Center, just down the street from Lyndon Institute. The design of this intersection makes it extremely dangerous, as evidenced by the most recent accident at the Cote family's home.
In late March, a pickup truck failed to negotiate the intersection, and plowed straight into the Cote's living room. William told the Lyndonville Select Board that if the accident had occurred a couple hours either earlier or later, he and his wife would've been sitting in the exact spot where the truck went through the wall.
The Cotes would like the town to make long-term changes to make the intersection safer for students and pedestrians who walk through the area, as well as for drivers who are unfamiliar with the intersection.
The select board voted to install warning signs to get drivers' attention. Selectmen will be in contact with the police department to see if these signs are actually making a difference.
