Description
There have been numerous vehicle break-ins in the subdvision. More street lights and more police presence at night may detere this crime. Also, speed humps would make this street safer since thru traffic is constantly speeding through the subdvision. Northbridge Dr is a long hilly street and high rates of speed are observed quite frequently.

On May 15, 2013 I reported a street light out to Georgia Power At 664 Shortline Ct., corner of Shortline Ct. and Central Line. Pole #10 with pink bow tied to it. Outage #63879.
Neither has been fixed.
I am in favor of speed bumps or better yet speed dips, The speed is posted 25 mph, but many cars travel in excess of 50 mph.

Please know that requests for speed humps, stop signs, no truck signs, lowering speed limits, etc. are categorized as “Traffic Calming”.
Although the City’s Traffic Calming Policy and Procedures are still in draft form, the City is unable to install a speed hump without a traffic study. There are various factors that must be considered including speed, volume, accident data, and input from first responders to make an accurate assessment as to whether a traffic calming device is needed.
In the meantime, within the next 3-6 months, the City’s Public Works Director and Public Works Assistant Director will discuss options for improving signage in the community, order and replace the signs and ensure the police are notified of this issue well.

On Monday Sept. 9, 2013, around 7:30 am to 7:45 am, a car travel down Northbridge Dr. hitting 2 mailboxes on the opposite side the car was traveling. It appears she was traveling above the 25 mph speed limit to do this damage. This is the time the school buses pick up, luckily there were not any children hurt. Henry County Police were there within seconds (may have been in the area). I do not see that any warning or citation was issued in public records. The driver said she fell asleep, speed dips or bumps would have awaked her before she did property damage.
Everyone in the neighborhood would appreciate a sincere look into this potentially dangerous situation.

We appreciate the additional information regarding the most recent traffic incident. Please know, City staff continue to work on a permanent solution to address Traffic Calming issues within the city. The additional signage mentioned previously is a good start to resolving these types of issues, however, I have forwarded the additional feedback from yourself and Barry to the Public Works Director to explore what other options may be available in the interim.
We thank you for continuing to be our eyes and ears in our community and this service request will remain open until fully resolved. Please continue to check back as major milestones occur.

I noticed it has been approximately 5 months that have passed and nothing has been addressed that we are aware of with regard to speed bumps on Northbridge Drive and signage to stop cut-thru traffic. Cars continue to travel at high rates of speed down Northbridge Drive, i.e. 50+ mph in residential area. Please update on what has been done as to progress of getting this resolved?
Thanks!
