Description

I have spent months trying to work with the NHPD and CT Transit on the speeding that goes on on Concord Street day and night. The posted speed limit is 25 mph. The buses often go well above that, particuliarly bad at night. I have notified CT Transit about specifics on at least 50 occasions. They send out "supervisors" who sit on Concord with their flashers on during the day. They were here once at night, but the "supervisor" was on his screeen as buses flew by. He did nothing. Earlier in the day he followed a couple buses creeping down the Street. My windows shake. The buses use the double yellow line as a center marker for their bus. Done. I am asking if there are people willing to sign a petition to get them off of Concord. And once again, I am asking NHPD to put someone down here for a period of time, giving out speeding tickets...not just you went through the stop sign tickets. This is ridiculous. The taxes are high and nothing gets done on this issue. But they want to make Tweed bigger...noisier. Done. FIx this. I am contacting my legislators and the Dept of Transportation. I have given this enough of an effort, enough information and time for this to be corrected. Perhaps speedbumps before someone gets killed. I am told they are noisy. Well not as noisy as a bigger airport, speeding buses and automobiles, non-stop. Someone is going to get killed. This is a residential street. Not a highway. Does it take someone getting killed? Because there is enough documentation now that there has been a non-response.

I attach a picture of the supervisor from CT transit with his blinkers on. The buses are slow today since he came and sits where they all can see him. WITH HIS FLASHERS ON!
