Description
Significant speeding on this street with a hill blocking driver's views, making it unsafe for walking the neighborhood AND for kids at play. There are no sidewalks to ensure pedestrian safety. The Huguenot track team runs through this neighborhood at dusk. Please consider a speed hump, these are in nearby neighborhoods. Why has this been ignored?

- Staff · September 29, 2023Speed samples are planned to determine the need for speed tables.
- Staff · April 11, 2024The 85th percentile speed, the speed that 85 percent of drivers travel at or below, is one of the best indicators of a reasonable and safe speed. The 85th percentile speed for a 48-hour period was 29 mph. This sample is in compliance with the posted 25 mph speed. Speed tables are not currently planned.
