speed limit sign has been installed
Other: I would like to request a Caution Children at Play sign and/or speed limit signage for my street. I live on Owens Drive on the west side near the movie theater. We have a lot of traffic go through our neighborhood that miss their turn into the movie theater. There are many that drive as fast as they can around our circle--Wynnedale and Owens Drive--to make it back to the stoplight. There are children in the neighborhood and it creates an unsafe situation with the drivers who are choosing their own speed. Thank you for the consideration! Misty Crouch

request in to PWD to install speed limit sign
P&T will do a field check to confirm and then likely follow up with PWD for a speed limit sign installation
Hi Misty, thank you for submitting this uReport and I'm sorry to hear you experience speeding in your neighborhood. I don't think a Children at Play sign would be appropriate in this context, but I would agree that a speed limit sign (likely located near the entrance to the neighborhood) sounds appropriate. I'll need to make a visit to the area to verify any existing signage, but I don't anticipate any problem installing the speed limit sign. I should also let you know that in many cases installing a speed limit sign has little to no effect on the speed at which people actually drive. It may be beneficial in this instance and I think we should try it, but I don't want to imply that posting a sign will suddenly eliminate all speeding. Thanks again and please feel free to follow up with me if you have any questions,

We'd be happy to install. Please let Mike Stinson know if he should install and where.
