URGENT ACTION NEEDED- I don't know how to properly title my request because "traffic signs" isn't enough to have action taken proven my last post. This street street not safe! Speed Bump, Speed Limit and children/animals signage needed. have this area patrolled and tickets given on this roadway. Vehicles use street to bypass one way major roads of Durham and Shepard. Kids, animals, family's use street daily. It is not safe and something needs to be done. If I could upload a video of the vehicles speeding I would as a picture won't prove anything. Please take care of this before a kid/family, pedestrian or animal gets injured or killed. So far, 2 dogs have been hit on this street. I'm sick of inconsiderate & irresponsible drivers in this city especially in our neighborhoods.
