The whole block needs speed bumps. You should see my street....General Arnold. There is NO reason for so many people who don't live here to be driving up and down our street. They come and go from Hoffman park at ridiculous speeds. I am waiting for a kid to get hurt or killed around here. And it better not be mine. I don't really encourage my son to go out and play in this neighborhood because of it. How sad.
Do what I do........I have a yellow sign that says "Slow-Children playing". Get them at Toys R Us. I set mine on top of my garbage bin and set it in the middle of the street whenever my kid is out on his bike. My house is in the middle of the block and this forces anyone driving down the street to slow down and turn around it. @#$% drivers off and makes me happy because ......mission accomplished. Will be doing it more often again this year even when my kid isn't out playing. The rate at which people speed through this neighborhood is an ABOMINATION and the city needs to do something before a kid gets killed. From what I hear, people have tried to get speed bumps here in the past with no luck. The bottom line is money and participation. Until enough people in this block speak up and even open their wallets in some way shape or form....nothing will change until someone gets hurt or killed. The block to the west of us has speed bumps but the city has excuses why we can't have them.
PLEASE......contact out neighborhood association about this and don't give up. You can contact our association at near_assoc@msn.com
Your complaint to SeeClickFix is appreciated but it will get you nothing. PLEASE contact the association and I personally will join you on a campaign to get speed bumps. Maybe petitioning could do the trick? In the past when people have asked for speed bumps, the city wants to do a "traffic study" where they invariable determine that what you and I say is not enough to "warrant" the cost of speed bumps because they don't have proof of enough people going fast enough often enough. We all know this is a pathetic excuse. Like I said, enough people have to speak up loud enough to get it done.
Hope to hear from you.
