Description

Pineview Drive, a neighborhood road, is being used as a through-way which is causing an increased number of accidents and crime in the area. There is a 90 degree curve on Pineview Drive and drivers DO NOT obey the 15 MPH posted signs. There have been several accidents at this curve (mailboxes taken out, cars deep in homeowner's yards, etc.). The issue has been posted numerous times on this site and the issue has not yet been addressed. I am reposting in the hopes that the City can help protect the neighobors of Pineview Drive. It is important to note that this road has 0 sidewalks and several children walk this road to Athens High School every day. Very dangerous!

At one point, the City placed speed monitoring signs at the beginning of the 90 degree curve. These signs, however, were removed within a few days and no other action was taken. The problem remains.

The 15-MPH cautionary signs that were put up have done nothing to curb the speeders at the sharp corner on Pineview.

Could the city please consider one of the following:
1) Park a police car on the street to ticket speeders, several of us are happy to volunteer our driveways
2) Setup a permanent sign that flashes the violator's speed next to the recommended speed
3) Go back to having Pineview Drive as a dead-end where it meets Swift Drive (Note, this eliminates another issue reported presently on the site).

We have too many walkers on their way to Lake Johnson and too many students on their way to Athens Drive High School to compromise on safety. This road is too narrow. It was never meant for thru-traffic.

We have submitted this issue three times to the city. Please help us. As neighbors and parents we have met and decided that without resolution will consider submitting this issue to Diane Wilson, the WRAL Troubleshooter.
