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

[mospeed1 at aol.com]

i will sign a petition to get speed bumps put in our neighborhood i live on 24th ter across from the park since this road runs parallel with military trail everyone uses it? to avoid military trail and daily i see car doing over 50 mph down this road all the time(it's said most of the speeders live in waterford because i see there cars while i walk)....it should be common sense for the city to install speed bumps in front of all parks located withen the city? brian

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.

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
