Description
In the neighborhood of Pasadena Lakes, along NW 24th Court, there is a part of the street that extends almost a full mile without any stop signs. Residents speed through this part of the neighborhood to avoid the signs on Pasadena Blvd and are a danger to those who reside in this part of the neighborhood. We have children who play in this area and although we display orange cones as well as a strong presence of adults while the kids are playing, residents continue to speed past. I have stopped one particular resident, whom I know to have been stopped in the past by others, to kindly ask that she slow down but am only met with profanity and her speeding away. This issue should be addressed due to safety concerns and speeding through an otherwise quiet neighborhood.

Hi David, that is a great idea!! I requested stop or reduced speed signs but was basically told it'll be put on a list and they'll get to it when they get to it.
Please email your suggestion to Jay Schwatrz at jschwartz@ppines.com in reference to this thread.
Mr. Schwartz did say that he would be in touch with the Pines Police Chief to have an officer sent to enforce the speed limits during the evenings when our children are playing.
My fiancé is a police officer as well and even with his cruiser parked out front they speed past and dont mind yelling or slinging profanity when spoken to kindly....

Last week while the kids were playing outside, someone parked their car on the street with hazards as a caution and also placed 2 large orange cones with a sign that says Slow, kids playing.
After several people continued to speed past despite the sign and cones, I ended up dragging the cones in a way that anyone driving through had to navigate slowly through them to avoid hitting either the cones or other vehicles.
A large white utility van (white male driver and what looked to be a golden retriever) drove past. He came around the corner, saw the cones and cars and guess what?
HE SPED UP!!!!
Like a total @#$%-hat he accelerated just to be a jerk. Then yelled @#$% YOU" as he drove past.
Anyone got any more lame excuses for this?
Each time this or similar concerns take place
I WILL CALL 911 UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED AND ENFORCED!!!
IT IS AN EMERGENCY THAT MY CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CITY HAS NOT LOOKED INTO THIS MATTER!!!
