[Email] How can we go about getting speed bumps?

This distribution list is not the appropriate forum for this type of
hypothetical, often opinionated, conversations. Please limit this forum to
issues of importance to all members of Waterford community. Issues such as
enforcement of speed limits or the proposal of speed bumps, may be presented
at city council meetings, meetings with BSO, or other meetings of that
nature. Thank you.

Ok, so let's pretend that what I said was I was walking with my elderly
mother the other night and she stepped off the sidewalk at the bottom of the
bridge to cross the street and a car with loud boisterous music came flying
by and almost knocked her on her butt. Is that more acceptable? 

 

This has everything to do with the safety of our children as well as ANYONE
walking or crossing on that street. People, dogs, ducks, etc. are at risk
particularly in the evening.  Fishing or NOT we have every right to be at
that bridge or in that park or walking across the street.There is limited
vision to both drivers and pedestrians due to low light levels, the
elevation of the bridge. Look, I am not going to go on and on about what a
ridiculous point you think you are making. But if it was one of your
children that got hit or your dog or your spouse you would not be too happy.


The kids fishing off the bridge are not harmng anything anything as long as
throw the fish back, and they do. I have seen numerous law enforcement drive
by while the kids are fishing and say nothing. Maybe you don't remember what
is was like to a little boy. Maybe you would rather these boys be getting
into mischief like breaking into peoples homes and such?

Well, if you read the signs....fishing is not allowed from the bridge.  So
the children should not be there.  Parental intervention is needed.

Also, based on prior discussions with the city, 28th doesn't meet their
criteria for speedbumps.  Nor does SW 15th street.

I believe what you need to request...is traffic enforcement.  Some
enforcement of the 'no fishing from bridge' would be a step in the right
direction, too.

Quoting "kim walton" <kimnhunter03 at yahoo.com>:

Over the weekend many of the young boys have been fishing at the bridge on
SW 28th Ave. Cars fly over that bridge at unheard of speeds and are putting
them in danger. Not to mention the children that play all along that road
and at the park at the end of that road.  Can anyone tell me how we can
petition to put speed bumps along that road or at least on both sides of the
bridge? 

Thanks!

Kim
