SCHOOL STREET SPEEDWAY

Is there anypone but me concerned that School Street is being used as a Speedway?

Cars, trucks, motorcycles come off Route 196 and going 40-50 miles per hour

before they hit Vining Street. Often times even more !!!!

The 25 miles per hour speed limit is completely ignored.

 

I feel like the School Street police when I yell at speeders to slow down.

 

I complained to the police department more than once.

One year they placed the mobile sign noting the speed limit and

mph of the vehicle. Drivers slowed down when they saw the

sign, and speed as usual after the sign was gone.

 

And still nothing has been done.

 

I made a formal complaint to Town Manager Diane Barnes

yesterday afternoon and asked if speed bumps could be installed

at the west end of School Street?

 

I shall be making that request at the Tuesday

September 1, 2015 town council meeting.

 

If anyone else is concerned, please call the police department

at 353-2500 or the Town Manager at 353-3000, extension 104.
