Speeding - Need Speed Tables/ Bumps on Townley St., - Willard St., - Atwood St., Intersections Lots of Children playing, People walking or crossing street, Cars cannot stop in time.There are accidents all the time a few hit had run auto.
If you can't put in Speed Bumps? Then make it a "three way stop" on Willard St and Townley St. there's a lot of speeding cars coming and going to the Apartments straight across from Townley Street!
And Atwood St and Townley Street cars speeding from one end to the other.
And from the closed end of Willard St, right through the intersection of Willard and Townley to Asylum Ave.
Something has to be done!

  Issue: # 166140 & #140061 Speeds bumps
  
  Cars speeding from closed end of Willard St to light at Asylum Ave.
  I hear them almost daily speeding from the closed end of Willard St to Townley st
  Tust waiting for the sound of CRASH?.
  And Willard St.& Townley St. Intersection that's where the last hit and run was.
  People also use Woodland to Atwood St. to Townley to Willard St, Intersections as a short cut.
  After getting out of work.
  . ...So you say the road segment is not long enough to install speed bumps?

  Roadway segment is to short to warrant speed bump. This case has been closed.

  Nothing has been done as of yet.
  If the city can't put in speed bumps at either end of Townley St.
  Then how about putting a 3 way stop on Willard St.
  And Townley and at Atwood St. and Townley St

  I'll add my vote for the need for speed bumps througout Asylum Hill, especially on streets with problematic parking uissues. Bumps should be installed where needed, not just where the residents are savvy enough to lobby for them.
  
  Three-way stop will not work anywhere, all it will do is cause people to slow down enough to roll through, creating an even more dangerous situation since an unwary pedestrian may drop their guard by assuming the signal might actually be obeyed. Way too many rolling stops through the area, even with the hospital nearby.

Need speed Bumps Archived

Townley St Hartford, CT - Asylum Hill

Need to have Speed Bumps on either end of Townley Street to Willard St and Atwood Streets.
Cars speeding down Willard to Townley. Wouldn't you call it "thickly settled" 15 to 20 MPH?
