Description
Delivery vehicles and residents frequently drive well over the speed limit off of Forest Hill Ave and down this hill. There are a growing number of young families in this neighborhood, Huguenot HS athletics teams use this neighborhood for practice, and there is a bus stop at the junction of Stratford Rd and Stratford court that parents have noted multiple close calls from vehicles driving too fast and not paying attention. It is a matter of time before a major accident occurs here.
