Attention

Recently I have had several neighbors come to me to ask about getting speed bumps put in the main drag here on Rolling Meadow drive to perhaps slow drivers down in Bently Farms for the safety of our children and animals.

I have checked with the city and it seems this would be something we may need to perhaps take up a petition for and have community contributions to help pay.

I see several speeders while I am out walking and they are people who live in the neighborhood.
Speed-bumps will not slow them down.
Here is the suggestion we should start with:

1. Say something as them speed pass you - they will slow down.
2. If you get a plate# or know where they live, get a plate# and report it to a neighborhood captain.
3. If you see the people speed more then twice, they need to talked to about it
4. We have posted speed limits here - if they are speeding- over and over - the police need to be informed.

I lived in a neighborhood with speed-bumps and they cause more issues then good.

The people speeding need to be held accountable for their actions.
I have on a few occasions, yelled at speeders here.

I am guilty and I will slow down! I will list this issue (speed bumps) as a discussion item on the council agenda for the August 4th meeting (7 pm). If you'd like to hear the discussion and have input, be at the meeting.
