Description

There is a blind person living at 70 Fairmont Avenue, the Fairmont Heights Apartments. He often crosses the street alone and has difficulty finding the sidewalks. Cars zoom up this street at a very high speed. I am concerned that he will get hit. Is there any way to slow down the traffic, ie. a speed bump or at least a Blind Person warning sign?
In addition cars often come down the wrong way to go into the apartment parking lot. He does not seem to be aware of this and is only listening for traffic coming the proper way. The building at the intersection of Farren and Fairmont used to be a bar and was going to be a restaurant. The cars cut through this parking lot and come down the street. Years ago the owner had curbs to eliminate this, but they have been removed and cars from Fairmont cut through to Farren and cars from Farren cut through and go down the wrong way on Fairmont. Is there any way you can eliminate this to protect not only the blind person, but the rest of us on this end of Fairmont?

Thank you!
