Description
Yellow cones placed on the double yellow line were VERY effective at calming traffic.
Last Friday Main St was reopened to commuters, the center line cones were removed and traffic immediately became a threat to community safety again. Please keep in mind that for many of us, this "major collector route" is less than 10' from our front door.
This speeding threat existed prior to the recent runoff event and is now exacerbated by rebuilding and recovery.
There is an ongoing traffic study in place here, so far the white shoulder posts are not effectively calming traffic. Cars cross the yellow line to maintain speed. With cones on the center line, vehicles are not able to cross the double yellow and therefore must travel slower.
Please return the cones to the center line ASAP.
Note: this is also a pedestrian safety concern for lower Main St, please consider this a safety concern from Rogers Ave down to Maryland Ave.
