Description
We would like to put in a request for speed bumps before or after the park across the street. There are many children around and for years we have been watching speeding up and down Pratt road and have seen many accidents and children almost being hit. Just recently I was taking my grandchildren across the street to the park and we were nearly hit by a speeding vehicle. There is a public park, with a play ground and it gets very busy especially in the summer and people are driving erratically at high rate of speeds thinking it’s a race track. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed. I beg you to please put in speed bumps around the park area to slow people down and prevent a tragedy..

I am not aware of any DPW that installs speed bumps on their roadways. Speed bumps are typically installed on private property including commercial developments and private developments like apartment buildings.
Fitchburg DPW will not install speedbumps, and if drivers are breaking the law by speeding then that is an enforcement issue. You can contact FPD Traffic Division at (978)516-9369 ext 1269
