The residents of Jūrmala have been increasingly vocal about their concerns regarding a hazardous intersection at the junction of Strēlnieku prospekts and Kronvalda iela. Despite years of requests to the local government, including appeals made through the media program "Bez tabu," there has been little action taken to improve safety at this site. The intersection is notorious for frequent accidents caused by inattentive drivers who disregard yielding signs, making it a high-risk area for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Many accidents at the intersection have led to vehicles ending up on the sidewalk, which is particularly alarming as this route is used by children heading to Jūrmala Pumpuru Secondary School and other pedestrians throughout the day. The existing safety measures, such as a stop sign, are deemed inadequate by the community. Residents argue that a traffic light or other traffic calming measures are necessary to adequately protect pedestrians and reduce the frequency of accidents, highlighting a serious ongoing disagreement between citizens and local authorities regarding public safety priorities.

The situation reflects broader issues of municipal accountability and responsiveness to community needs. With continued accidents at the intersection, residents feel unsafe navigating this part of Jūrmala. Calls for action from the local government have been ignored, which raises questions about their commitment to public safety and the effectiveness of local governance. Stakeholders are now emphasizing the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to ensure the safety of all who use this busy intersection.
