There are new safety concerns being voiced over the "Y" intersection where West Fourth Street meets West Third on Jamestown's westside.  They were voiced at this past Monday night's City Council Work Session by Pace's Pizzaria Owner Joe Town... who says they've seen some bad accidents... and many more near misses in the time he and his wife have run the operation.  Town adds that the intersection has become a "contentious" traffic spot for many motorists because some motorists get confused over whether drivers coming down the hill on Fourth need to stop at that merger.  They don't have to while motorists traveled west on Third are required to stop.  Town says... sometimes... it's hard to sometimes gauge your speed going down that hill.  He also asked City Council to consider eliminating one parking meter in front of their business... or create a "loading zone" so that he and his employees can park, and not have to worry about "feeding" the meter while they're bringing supplies, and working inside before opening at 4 p.m.
