Description

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do something about the people who constantly speed down North Wheeling Street. We have been dealing with an ongoing problem. Between the intersections of Wheeling and Consaul, and the intersection of Wheeling and York, people regularly speed to attempt to beat oncoming trains.

There are a number of young children in this stretch of street who regularly play outside, and cross the street. I am scared to death that one of these occasions are going to end drastically.

Honest to God, I have personally witnessed cars driving in excess of 50 - 60 mph down this street. It is a residential neighborhood. I had witnessed a car hit those railroad tracks so hard one day, the guy dropped his drive-shaft.

I've complained about this issue with the traffic department and it too, has gone unaddressed.

Please, lower the speed limit to 25 or 30, put in some speed humps, and reinforce it with a Roadside Speed Detector.
