Description
Vehicles heading westbound and eastbound on M Street between the intersections of 25th street and 30th street regularly travel at excessive speeds. I have observed multiple instances of vehicle damage as a result of excessive speed entering the intersection of M St and 27th street, to the tune of at least four incidents in the last six months. In addition, the entrance to Henry L. Marsh, III Elementary is now on M Street and I believe speed controls should be considered for student safety.
