Description
Reporting again about the ridiculous speeding on Mountain Rd. Not just private vehicles, but large tractor trailer trucks, dump trucks, police with no lights or sirens on, and lastly SCHOOL BUSES! Filled with children going at least 40. Out street is 25mph. I am afraid to even walk with my kids down the side walk. We had a cat turn up dead in our front yard. Clearly hit by a car. The speeding is out of control. Even with the speed reader that was placed in front of my drive way, people would go slow through it and speed up like crazy after they passed it. I yelled the speed limit to a bus driver with a bus full of kids and she gave me the "Wtf arms" taking BOTH her hands off the steering wheel traveling well over 25. I know there are other issues in town. But this is crazy. I had a friend's son get hit by a car in the center due to speeding. It's crazy. Something has to be done. The resolve to the issue the last time I reported in June, I believe, was an increase in patrol during rush hours. I haven't seen this increased presence. Neither have any of the neighbors I know and have spoken to. Also, the problem is bad at all times if the day. Not just the rush hours.

I have seen more than a handful of passenger vehicles blow the stop sign at the corner of Sheffield and Mountain as well, in the morning bus pickup times (it happens all day at that stop sign).
