Description
Please put up stop signs at each entrance to Kepler Loop on Brisbon rd. A fourway stop would be good at the Cantler, Brisbon and Kepler Loop area. This row of town houses on Kepler Loop is part of Creekside and the residents need to cross a busy street to get to their community. A little boy was killed here crossing the road. Pedestrian crosswalks and speedbumps along the road with additional lighting would be beneficial. Many people speed down this road and we have both children and adults who walk on Brisbon. With the amount of cars that come down this road with the Sterling Apartments, Creekside and other houses, it would need to be addressed as quickly as possible. People use this road as it is another way to connect Ford and Harris Trail. They do not go the speed limit of 35 but way over that on multiple occasions.

City and County representatives met to discuss the proper next steps after receiving the incident report from Georgia State Patrol and its review by Richmond Hill Police Department.
It was agreed upon that the City and County should engage a professional traffic and pedestrian safety consultant to perform a study in the area in order to determine the best solution. We have engaged with a very qualified consultant in Kimley-Horn. Their team includes four professional traffic operations engineers and two certified Road Safety Professionals, which is a certification achieved through a high level of practice and knowledge in the road safety profession.
Kimley-Horn proposes we complete a Road Safety Audit (RSA) for Brisbon Road. The RSA is a safety performance examination of an existing roadway corridor by an independent multi-disciplinary audit team; and is widely viewed as a proactive, innovative approach to improving safety and have been implemented nationwide for this purpose. Based on their extensive experience, Kimley-Horn believes an RSA would best serve the City and County and would achieve these primary objectives:
• Quickly implement effective safety countermeasures along Brisbon Road
• Adequately plan for future needs along the Brisbon Road corridor and surrounding area
• Identify potential, similar areas of concern within Richmond Hill
All of the suggested solutions and feedback provided to the City via email, SeeClickFix, etc. will continue to be relayed to the consultant for review and consideration as part of the RSA. The City anticipates receiving the final RSA within a few months. We will keep you updated as this process continues.
Thank you for contacting us with your concerns and suggestions.
