Description
There is still an ongoing issue with the speed and traffic along Brougham drive especially at the intersection of Brougham and Ashford. Cars are coming from the business or Van Dyke Rd (Eastbound) and just speeding down Brougham. Since the road curves right at this intersection, it becomes very dangerous because drivers don't realize they need to slow down until they are 2ft away from the residential curb and mailbox. This is dangerous for any kids playing in the front yard/driveway and even cars that are parked on the street in front of their own house. On top of all this, there is continuous speeding from School Buses everyday(multiple times in the day) and also commercial trailers and vehicle haulers using brougham as a shortcut from van dyke to dodgepark/16 mile.

Hello,
Since the "increased police presence" hasn't done much of anything to resolve the issue, what will the next steps be? Is there a reason why there aren't any stop signs on any of the intersections along Brougham dr, from van dyke to dodge park?

Hello,
This concern has not been addressed. The problem still exists, if anything it has gotten worse. People speed down the road at all times of the day. Including commercial and semi trucks using Brougham as a shortcut to avoid traffic/construction.

The Sterling Heights Police Department has sent out numerous extra traffic patrols to Brougham starting when you first voiced this concern. We will continue to do so. The City of Sterling Heights has nearly 400 miles of roadway. The Traffic Safety Bureau sends out, at most, 5 officers at one time. This equates to nearly 80 miles of roadway for each officer. With limited resources, it is simply not possible to place an officer on your street 24 hours a day. We will continue to send out extra traffic patrols in the future. Again, if you have a question, please contact me at 586-446-2892. Thank you. Lt. Muskovin
