Description

The excessive speeds, lack of sidewalks and crosswalks continues to be problem in this area. First, the posted speed limit is 30 mph, but most motorists travel at speeds of 40-50 mph. I have personally observed a lot of reckless and inattentive driving here and we have been having some new issues with street racing lately. Second, the lack of sidewalks and crosswalks poses a significant safety concern for pedestrians in this area. Being a pedestrian here is often terrifying and sometimes impossible. My five year old daughter should not have to fear for her life crossing the street to ride her bike on the only available sidewalk. Third, we need bike lanes or sharrows to improve the safety of our community. We need a traffic calming plan in place since there are a lot of children in this neighborhood. Our community needs Public Works to apply the appropriate traffic-calming measures. We need bike lanes, sidewalks,crosswalks, and enforcement of speeding laws to keep our community members safe.
