Description
Lots of cut through traffic from Forest Hill Ave to Chippenham Pkwy. People speed once turning off Forest Hill then there is a blind curve that you cannot see around on Kenmore. Recently, a speed hump was installed further down Stratford. This will slow down traffic prior to that hump and around a dangerous turn. There are lots of small children in area and since there are no sidewalks, families w/kids and dogs have to walk on the road.

- Staff · September 25, 2023The average speed for Kenmore measured 26mph. This was for a 48 hour period with about 400 vehicles a day. The eight year DMV crash history revealed no reported crashes along the Kenmore corridor between Chippenham Pkwy and Forest Hill Ave. Speed tables are not planned.
