Description

The speed at which people come down the hill sometimes reaches in excess of 70 mph. I have clocked this myself both with a borrowed radar gun and an app on my phone. For 2 years I have asked that a cruiser just verify this, not even issue tickets. I am willing to pay for an hour of time. I have called as well as spoken in person with Officer Hannon. But there has not been any response. My proposal was that we make a 3 way STOP at Cedar and Central Ave this would break the speed pattern. And although I was told that that wouldn't happen, there are at least 3-4 intersections where this does exist. I am sure there are more.

I was also told that one of the residents on that corner doesn't want it because of music being played when they have to come to a stop. We hear it anyway as they speed down the street. I believe the resident may be moving. The peak times are when cars are speeding to either pick up or drop off the kids to the Lafayette school; as well as after 11p at night.

I fear lack of control by a driver will cause a serious accident or strike one of the many children who walk up the hill from school. Especially in winter when the downhill is a sheet of ice.
Does this have to be done at state level ? Does it have to go before a board? Thanks in advance for your help and interest.
