Description
We have asked for speed bumps to slow people down in a marked 10mph curve. Not happened. Left to curb habitual parking. We live in a loop and there are no street signs to mark who stops and who yields. We have a condo with multiple young people coming and going at all hours.
We also have several young men who ride their scooters on the sidewalks and in the streets. They have been warned about the law and still continue to do it.
We are begging for speed bumps to slow speeders down before a really bad accident happens. Thank you!

We did get a sign warning about the curve.
The speeding continues, as does the wrong way parking.
Please help before our cars get hit or worse a pedestrian is hurt!
Also a girl named Libby continued to run her boxer around 10pm each night without a leash. If she’s out none of us can walk our dogs. Another complaint we’ve called on. Please pay attention to us.

I wil lbe glad to stop by and take a look. Like most municipalities, Davidson has warrants (thresholds) for traffic calming and multi-way stop signs. Northeast Dr has very low traffic volume - our streets with speed bumps have 1500-2500 cars per day; Northeast Dr is estimated at less than 300 per day. I don't expect Northeast Dr will meet the minimum threshold for speed bumps.

Clearly your response is unfounded. To my knowledge in the 5 years we’ve lived here there has never been a traffic count study performed.
Before answering you should perhaps offer a study. You must realize there are over 30 doctors here along with residents.
I’ll look forward to speaking to you, whom ever this is who resounded.
Thank you.

This is Doug Wright, Public Works Director. I will be glad to do a speed study for Northeast Dr and provide a report. I have a few in queue already, so it would be in January. Is there a specific location you would like us to measure?

Please call me and I’ll invite you to sit on my porch for a few. You can sit and see what we are going through down here.
