Speeders in 25mph zone Archived

Park Ave Amherst, OH 44001, USA - Amherst

I've had people flash their brights behind me and tailgate me all the way down Park (from St Rt 58) because I'm driving the speed limit. It's not 35mph anymore and hasn't been for years! It's 25mph! This is NOT SAFE. Do we need speed bumps down this road too?

  You can't possibly put speed bumps on every single road. #1) the costs would be way to high. #2) when people's vehicles begin getting damaged or destroyed by the speed bumps, who will pay for repairs? I don't want my hard earned taxes paying for that.. It all comes down to Law Enforcement, they just are NOT doing their jobs.....

Dodge Drive Gate is a Safety Hazard Archived

1039 Dodge Drive Amherst, OH - Amherst

It no longer serves it's initial purpose and needs to be removed. It is causing safety issues. City services have expressed similar concerns and the issues it causes to maintain.

  I think 'guest' is blowing smoke. I was present at the council meeting when the gate was put into place. It was never meant to be a permenant fixture. I think the belief that cars using it as a shortcut has a lot of BS in it

  Gate or no gate, Northpointe will always be Oster's mistake on Route 58.

  I respectfully submit to Mulberry that is the mentality that we have been dealing with for 8 years. Quite simply Dodge is a dedicated public road and shouldn't have been gated in the first place. Anyway, I am sorry Mulberry thinks North Pointe is a mistake. Maybe we should ask the Amherst officials if they would like to send the Northpointe property tax revenue to Lorain. They could sure use our help.
  
  Mulberry, please understand Northpointe is good for Amherst and you. We pay for the Amherst Public Schools, Amherst services, and Amherst government officials. I love Northpointe and my neighbors. You are welcome to walk over, ride your bike, or walk your dog into our neighborhood any day like so many already do.
  
  Mulberry, I am sorry that you have sour grapes over the issue but could you at least brush up on your poetry. Have a nice day.

  The gate has been removed after city council voted to have it removed. There have been signs posted for speed control and watch for children. Even though the gate has been removed the residents will be diligent in reporting speeders using this as a race track and will have them ticketed. Both side are now one and will work as a community to keep the streets safe.

Speeders in 25/20mph zone Archived

493 Cleveland Ave Amherst, OH 44001, USA - Amherst

All day and night drivers fly down the road - buses, garbage trucks, semis, delivery vehicles, cars, trucks, you name it. I'm sick of it! Since many of them are kids and their parents, no one cares. With two schools and a lot of walkers, something NEEDS to be done. Put speed bumps on the road or a camera - someone needs to do something.

  Sorry, I can't fix this but it's supposed to be WASHINGTON ST, not Cleveland Ave. Can the admin or someone who has access fix this?

  Chrissy, thanks very much for the observations (and for everyone else's comments). If you don't mind I'm going to share your concern with City Hall and make sure they know about the perceived problem. Let me know if I can ever help.

  There is nowhere to cross Cleveland legally between Hot Dog Heaven and Woodhill, There should be a crosswalk with a flashing light at St. Joe's Dr.

People continuously speeding through drive-thru at bank to avoid stoplight! Open

1175 Cleveland Ave Amherst, OH 44001, USA - Amherst

This is getting old... I see so many people flying through here to avoid the light. Why can't they wait like everyone else? I've had far too many close calls here when turning the corner and having someone pull right out in front of me that cut through the bank. This needs be fixed, and the solution is simple. Simply block off the drive thru when the bank closes, and put a gate up at the ATM and it will only open after you are done using the ATM.

Simple as that!

  Thanks Carl . . . the Mayor's Office made a good point, though: this is private property, and the city can't take action when it comes to putting up barriers or blocking off the ATM lane. Lorain National Bank owns the lot. I'll wait to hear back from the police department, though.

  Thanks. I am aware that the city has no jurisdiction in this matter... maybe the Mayor can contact LNB regarding the situation? That would be great if LNB acknowledged the situation and resolves it.

  The police chief just got back to me about it this morning. He is going to pass it along to the officers, and I'm assuming they will keep a closer eye on the situation. I also sent the chief and the mayor a link to this See-Click-Fix watch area, so please feel free to post any other helpful suggestions you might have about handling this properly. Thanks!

- Turn Lane Needed (Guest)
  
  I agree, but what's worse is driver that are not considerate, pulling over into the right lane at the light because they were 2nd in line in the left lane. Consideration for those turning is apppreciated... Should be a turn-only lane there...

390 West Martin Ave Amherst, OH - Amherst

I live on West Martin Ave.by the bridge where the curve is this is a 25 mph zone and noone seems to respect that there is several hidden drives.We have contacted police to have this road watched more often but it doesnt seem to do any good.We had a car crash into our wall this past summer because he was speeding and lost control thank God it wasnt during the day when our children were playing out front.Something has to be done before someone is seriously hurt or even killed.Its mostly in the mornings and evenings when the speeding is out of hand im afraid for my 17 yr old to pull out of our driveway she almost gets hit everytime she pulls out it is getting ridiculous.PLEASE can u help resolve this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Hi Shelly,
  I met with your husband on Sunday afternoon, and we discussed the problems associated with that area, I also took the time to contact your neighbors and got their input. Monday morning I called Police Chief Kucirek personally and he assured me observation will increase on the morning and afternoon shifts when school lets out. You have my card so please feel free to contact me directly.

  To the residents of West Martin:
  I received communications from Chief Kucirek and Capt. Seger, the Police Department will be increasing proactive enforcement in that area beginning next week. Everyone in the neighborhood should have my card so please feel free to contact me directly.
