Description
With the increase in construction in this area, South Drive has become a thruway between Cherokee Rd and Hathaway Rd. The road is narrow in many spots with steep curbs and drivers are going well above the speed limit without regard for pedestrian safety. This morning my husband and two dogs were almost hit by a car less than block for the second time in less than a month. We are requesting speed monitoring or some type of traffic calming device for the safety of ourselves and our neighbors.
