Description
Can something please be done about the incessant speeding on Peeler road between N. Peachtree and Chamblee-Dunwoody. There are literally people doing 60mph on this road making it very dangerous for those that live on this street as well as children and pets. It’s very disheartening that the city hasn’t taken any action on how dangerous the speeding has become on Peeler road in recent years.

Speeding is bad. I've lived on this road for almost 20 years. Commuters pass on double yellow lines. Some of them will play chicken with you when you try to cross Peeler, others don't pay attention.
And why do we need another sidewalk on Peeler? There is already the very pleasant 12 foot wide sidewalk from Cherring along Peeler to North Peachtree. Similar to Chastain Park, the Brook Run sidewalk is offset from the main road and is a pleasant walk. Try walking on the sidewalk which already exists on Peeler and see how terrible that feels. It's too close to fast car traffic.
Also a new sidewalk on the south side of Peeler will remove another wide swath of trees. In some places, it is the only buffer left for the park. It will be parallel sidewalks maybe 15 feet apart. It's a waste of money and canopy.

I completely agree that there is a lot of speeding and also there is an immediate need for
1. Speed bump around Cherring and Peeler
2. Cross walk at Cherring to the park
3. NO need for a sidewalk on the south side of Peeler where it would literally be a few feet from the park cement trail. We NEED the trees. There have been way too many trees cut down already in the park, and the park is losing its amazing small park charm.
We have children and it is dangerous that these issues are being pushed off for execution in 2020. PLEASE address it immediately not in 2020.
Thank you! Concerned mom and Neighbor

OK, so just this morning about 8:15 AM, a speeding car (this time a 2 door silver BMW passed down the hill from Cherring Ln to Cherring Dr on a double yellow line in front of my house. (I think all of Peeler is double yellow.) We also often get aggressive drivers on our bumpers when we pull out of our driveways. They come up on you quick at that speed and don't slow down.
This will be catastrophic one day. Kids and families cross from both Cherring Dr and Ln and Luray to Brook Run Park for the Middle School, the park, and Ga State College. There are Marta bus stops around.
Police radar would have a great place to sit on either Luray or Cherring Dr.
We need Police and crosswalks for resident and public safety. A 60 mph crash will be a catastrophe.
