Description
Excessive speeding on High Ridge and throughout the surrounding neighborhood, especially high Ridge, Rosemar, Normandy, and church lane. There are no speed bumps, very few speed signs, no traffic calming and no sidewalks. Cars cut through to avoid shopping center traffic lights and now the construction on 99 has even more people cutting through so traffic continues to increase. There are multiple businesses as well as the arts center/head start school whose employees and families walk to work/school in the neighborhood. In addition, kids walk and wait at bus stops in the street and families try to get out to go for walks and bike rides. I hope something is done before someone is killed.
