Citizen says that roads through Winslow Farm between Winslow & Henderson (Bent Tree Dr, Wylie Farm Rd) are used as cut throughs and there is a bad speeding problem. Would like problem monitored and City to look into ways of reducing the speeding either through enforcement or some kind of traffic control.
"Intersection of 2nd St and Basswood Rd is very dangerous. Would like City to look into placing some kind of stop/traffic control there. Cars have a very difficult time crossing 2nd St at this location.
Vehicles are speeding downs 8th Street in front of Mr. Craig's house. He feels that most of this traffic comes from Valhalia Mobile Home Park. There are several children that play in this neighborhood, very dangerous situation. Craig contacted Randy Williamson, Police Department. Williamson will have Police out there to do radar. Craig would like to have speed and traffic counts done, possibly install a stop sign, 8th Street & Hays Street.
At Roosevelt & 4th, there is no sign indicating the 90 degree bend in the road. As a result, many drivers are traveling too fast for the turn, or drive into the alleys where 4th and Roosevelt each dead end. Can we erect an arrow sign, or some type of indication of the turn? (Also, check for adequate street lighting of intersection). Other members of Neighborhood Association concerned.
W. Sunset Ave. between Harvey and Westwood -- water stands in the street and weeds are growing in the middle of the street. Mr. Robinson has shoveled sand from the middle of Sunset Ave. The City should do something about this since he pays taxes.
There are young children on tricycles in the middle of the road. Mr. Wright has cautioned them before. If this is in fact a daycare, can we do something to keep the kids and their tricycles out of the road? There are many speeders along Montclair who might not see the children. This is very unsafe and something ought to be done about it.
Traffic calming device at 6th and Rogers inappropriate. See letter. xc: Julio Alonso

Mefford (who builds swings) is upset that the police were involved in the high speed chase which hurt innocent bystanders. He feels chasing stolen cars at high speed is unnecessary. He will call injured family & offer to help pay legal fees if they sue the City. He hopes the Mayor does not condone these high-speed chases and he would like a call from the Mayor.
When you are headed west on University you can't see traffic coming from the south on Henderson without getting out into the street. This may not be the correct address, it is the southeast corner of Henderson & University.
