I understand this is a great cut through, but most people using it go 20+ mph over the speed limit (35 posted). With the new Harris Teeter coming, I'm afraid it is only going to get worse. Please patrol or add speed bumps. Many of the homes on this road have young children.

City officials have declared that a successful petition has been submitted on the basis that 25 of 28 people signed a petition in favor of speed humps. This petition is illegal and invalid based on the city’s own rules, for the following reasons:
1. 214 letters/invitations to the petition meeting were sent to nearby residents. 185 of these were sent to the Windmere apartments. Would the pool for the petition not be the 214 residents rather than the 25 or 28 who actually attended? Item 2.3 in the rules (NTMP) states that a clear demonstration of support from area residents is required. 25 of 214 is only 12% approval.
2. I have a copy of the petition and I only count 22 signatures. 2 of the addresses on the petition belong to property where there is no home. There are only 12 addresses on Town and Country and only 9 homes! The others who signed the petition may have property adjoining Town and Country, but they do not have a driveway that directly enters Town and Country.
3. Line 15 on the petition is for property on Ricky Circle and the owner is listed as The City of Raleigh. I do not believe the city should be able to submit a vote in this matter. This vote should be omitted altogether.
4. The property on line 28 listed as 0 Lead Mine Rd. is owned by 8 separate entities according to Wake County online records. This vote should be omitted.
5. It appears that one person has signed for another person on line 25. This vote should be omitted.
6. The property on line 14 is a home owned by an investment company. I question the signature doubting that it actually belongs to someone who lives in this home. This vote should be omitted.
7. The petition is required to contain wording indicating how this calming will effect emergency responders. It does not. The Raleigh Fire Chief has told me via email that neither he nor anyone at fire station 16 had any knowledge of this petition beforehand. I have this Chief’s email.
8. The request for speed humps was first made in 2011 when the traffic count limit was 3000 per day and Town and Country had 5000 per day then. This request should have been discarded.
Given that there are only 22 signatures and lines 14, 15, 25 and 28 should be omitted based on a pool of 28 (which by all rights should be 214) the percentage is now 64% making this an unsuccessful petition.
I also want to add that this petition is dated 2/6/2014, but the City website had nothing about this issue until 8/18/2014.
