Auburn high school is a really great and convenient location for kids to pick up lunches currently and during the summer. There are at least 50 kids who walk or ride their bikes to this location every day Monday through Friday to get lunch. Also, since the stay-at-home order began, there are more people out walking their dogs, bicycling with their kids and pushing strollers on Main Street and on the grounds of the high school and elementary school then ever before. It's great! The only problem is that the cars are speeding down Main Street now that there is no high school traffic to slow them down. As the stay-at-home order has lengthened, the cars are getting faster and faster. I live right across from the high school, and I fear that a child making the crossing to the high school is going to get hit one of these days. It would be good to put up one of those radar speeding signs or solar speed signs on either side of the high school so that drivers could check their speed and slow down. Also, put crossing flags at the cross walks for the kids to use, so they can get the attention of the drivers. It really is a tragic accident waiting to happen. But the number of people the lunch program has brought out, who are just walking and biking around the neighborhood is tremendous. A real change and a nice one!

Thank you for contacting us with your concern about vehicles speeding on Main Street near the High School.
Due to the financial impact of COVID-19 on the City of Auburn, the City is implementing changes in services that are necessary to address the actual and anticipated losses in general fund revenues for 2020. Within the Public Works Department. This will mean a reduced level of service in some areas - mainly street/vegetation and transportation programs, because they are fully dependent on general fund revenues.
As a result, at this time, the City is no longer conducting speed studies or installing traffic calming treatment in response to citizen requests. Speeding complaints are referred to the Police for enforcement only.
The police is now aware of this situation and will be monitoring the area around the times when children are present.
