Intersection Collisions in Grand Rapids’ SWAN Neighborhood
Tuesday’s crash at Lexington Aly SW and W Fulton St underscores the unique risks presented by narrow, mixed-use intersections in older urban neighborhoods like SWAN. With limited space, angled turns, and foot traffic, collisions at these intersections are not uncommon—especially during daytime hours when both local and commuter traffic is high.
W Fulton St serves as a key corridor through Grand Rapids, with a mix of small businesses, homes, and frequent cross-traffic. Crashes in this area can lead to major disruptions, both for drivers and for pedestrians navigating the neighborhood on foot.
Injury crashes at intersections typically stem from driver inattention, misjudged timing, or blocked sightlines. Even at lower speeds, the physical, financial, and emotional consequences can be significant for those involved.
