Description
I saw a woman with a young child nearly get hit today as she crossed SE 4th Avenue from Sweetwater Park. There is a crosswalk but no one ever stops. This is not the first time I've seen this occur. The speeding is out of control on this road from both directions. The crosswalk isn't visible, and the sign is completely blocked. Cars rarely stop for pedestrians. Please install a crosswalk sign in the middle of the road. We also need speedbumps and active enforcement in this area.

Officers from our Traffic Unit spent enforcement time in this area and found compliance for the most part. One day, the officer found that no vehicle was traveling over 33 MPH in the 30 MPH posted zone. A couple with a stroller did cross the street in the crosswalk, but there was no traffic at that time.
On a different day, a different officer wrote a citation for 41 in a 30 MPH zone. However, all of the other vehicles were either under the posted speed limit or were a few miles per hour over and were not stopped or cited.
