Description
Around the 2400 block of Bertie Street, a car clearly drove off the road, up onto the sidewalk, and took out a signpost and a small tree. I don't know if it was reported, but it was not there 24 hours ago. There is enough damage (and enough pieces of the vehicle scattered about) that I doubt the driver was uninjured. Yet another example of reckless driving in this school zone. Just moments before I spotted this accident site, my dog and I were nearly taken out by a speeding car on Stevens Road.

Reckless driving is prolific in this area. The residents of Stevens Road circulated a petition last fall and successfully lowered our speed limit to 25mph. However, this has resulted in little or no improvement in reckless speeding. Cars are often observed going more than 20mph over the posted limit. The concentration of pedestrians, both from Enloe and the community, and the lack of sidewalks make this an immediate threat to public safety.
Please take this as an opportunity to enforce the posted speed limits throughout the Longview Park and Longview Gardens area (north and south of Enloe). We may not be so lucky that only landscaping and signage is the casualty of this bad behavior next time.
